An active dish has a service value and a remaining service life. Manual clicks and automatic activity consume that life while earning revenue. Click or tap the active dish to serve manually. CPC power-ups increase the strength of manual serving. CPS power-ups add automatic serving activity over time. CPS is a rate of automatic clicks per second; your dish value and applicable bonuses determine the resulting Coins. When a dish is used up, the diner needs another suitable dish from your stock. Keep a reserve of prepared food so your power-ups have something to serve. The menu can include a main plate, dessert and drink. Each slot uses suitable prepared dishes and has its own remaining service life. Check the menu and stock window when a slot appears empty or when the food on screen differs from your preferred selection. Skills and some equipped items can change serving value, dish life or income from particular actions. Manual and automatic serving bonuses can differ. Check the tooltips to see which actions and dish categories each bonus affects. ## Stock and Menu Stock holds the prepared dishes available for your diner. Ingredients and seeds are separate resources: owning ingredients does not put a finished dish on your plate. Open the Stock window to inspect your dishes and configure your menu. Choose suitable food for the main plate, dessert and drink slots, then apply your changes. Your preferred menu tells the diner which dishes to use. The active dish is the food currently being served. Its remaining service life is tracked separately from whole dishes waiting in stock. Autofill lets the game use eligible stock when the preferred choice is unavailable. Turn it off when you want tighter control over which prepared dishes are served. A strict preferred menu can leave a slot empty if the matching food runs out. When you change your menu, partially served dishes keep their remaining service life. The game tracks these portions separately from the whole dishes in Stock. Check three things before leaving your diner: * You have prepared food in stock. * Your menu choices fit the correct slot types. * Autofill is set the way you want. Food given to a delivery or sold through the Marketplace is no longer available for the diner.
