Description
The grumbling bellies and drooling mouths of the monsters waiting impatiently to dine are a clear warning that you don't have much time. You need to get those noodles into those bowls and onto those tables quickly, but be careful! Although monsters swallow without chewing, these ones have allergies and intolerances to a heap of ingredients. The player who manages to serve the monsters most effectively without causing hives and swelling will be awarded the title of employee of the month.
