# Quick Start

Follow these steps to begin your adventure and start building your diner business.

Follow the tutorial in the game. It takes you through serving a starter dish, planting and harvesting, preparing a dish, visiting your Profile and buying your first manual and automatic power-ups.

Click or tap the dish in your diner to serve it. When its remaining service life runs out, the next dish must come from your stock. Serving is how you turn prepared food into Coins.

In the Greenhouse, select a seed you own, then select an empty plot. The tutorial introduces tomato and lettuce crops and guides you to the vegetarian starter recipe. Look for Vegeterian Sandwich in the recipe list. Tutorial growth assistance makes these early steps faster; later crops follow the time and bonuses shown in the Greenhouse.

Open the Cooking Station, select the tutorial recipe and check its ingredient list. Start cooking when you have the required ingredients. Let the preparation finish, then use your prepared food in the diner.

Visit your Profile to inspect your level and rewards. Finally, open Power-ups and buy the manual and automatic upgrades requested by the tutorial. Finish the tutorial before expecting all shops and windows to be available.

On a desktop, game features open in windows. On a phone, use the corresponding screens and tabs. In the Greenhouse, select a seed in the Seeds tab and plant it in the Plots tab.
