Yummy Super Burger

A checklist rather than a queue, at least at first. The game opens with a task list — grill the patties, slice the vegetables, warm the buns, mix the sauce — and expects the whole line to be prepped before a single customer is served.

That front-loading changes the pace. There is no pressure during preparation and a lot of it afterwards, because service runs from the stock you built: run out of sliced tomato and the orders that need it stall while you go back to the board.

It is a good teaching structure for younger players, since it separates the two halves of a service kitchen cleanly instead of asking them to be done at once. Experienced players will find the prep stage slow and the service stage short.

1. Work down the task list to prepare each component.
2. Build up stock of the items most orders need.
3. Serve customers from what you prepared.
4. Return to the prep board when something runs low.

Overstock the buns and the patties, understock the extras. Almost every order needs the first two and only some need the rest, so an even prep spread runs out where it hurts.
