v1.0.9-alpha

Drinks

• Guests order beverages; a course completes only once its drink is delivered
• Mini fridge: per-slot stock, magazine shelves, door animation, goes dark in an outage
• Results screen pays for drinks served, charges for comfort drinks
• Tutorial chapter 12

Poached eggs

• Water in the pot means poached, not fried — identified by being hidden, not by type
• Eggs no longer get stuck; water leaves with the last portion
• Badge counts what's actually in the pot

Service pacing

• Slow-service clock measures a course, not a whole visit
• Mistakes cost the table patience

Table cards

• A card lives as long as its table, so it no longer vanishes between courses
• Guest icons tint green → red across the whole wait; sharper animation when a mistake caused it
• One table counts down at a time

Star rating

• Freeplay gets 0–3 stars, from the same function career uses
• Live rating starts at three and is defended — counts what's still servable, so being behind isn't failing
• Unearned stars grey out instead of vanishing
• Rating travels with the high-score record

Visuals

• Better lighting in the game, loading and cook-off scenes
• Blob shadows under players and NPCs
