First shift at the stall

A first shift is a short survival loop: learn the kitchen, read the wall, serve real customers, and refuse anomalies. The official experience is Late Night Ramen [HORROR] by Cryptid Horror, place 76359009042963.

Before you open the window

1. In the lobby, step on a queue pad sized for your group. Pads are described for solo play and for three- and four-player parties. A shift itself is 1 to 4 players. The public server size is 20, which is the lobby cap, not the stall crew.
2. Listen to the pre-recorded training message. It points at the empty bowls, the chicken and spicy broth dispensers, the boiling pot, and the topping line. Broth and cooked noodles go in before any garnish.
3. Read the rules on the wall before the first customer. Three of them are instant-fail protocols. The rest of the shift is a Service Quality Rating that starts at 100%.
4. A successful handoff of your first real order is the First Of Many badge. The official badge text is "Serve your first customer!"

One correct bowl

1. Pick up an empty bowl.
2. Pour only the requested broth, chicken or spicy.
3. Boil uncooked noodles, then put the cooked noodles in the bowl. Toppings are not accepted on a bowl that is still missing noodles.
4. Add only the toppings that were asked for: eggs, tofu, green onions, beef slices, or chicken slices.
5. If a drink was ordered, take bottled water or Bloxy Cola from the drink station.
6. Hand the bowl and drink through the open window.
7. A wrong bowl cannot be unbuilt. Drop it in the trash and start again.

Take the customer's payment when they step up. Recorded shifts show that the cash can be collected before you decide to serve or to shut the window. Serving the food to an anomaly, or shutting out a normal person, is what drops the rating.

What ends the night

An on-screen counter tracks customers still to serve. Published walkthrough notes describe openings around 13 to 15 customers, but the counter on your screen is the quota that matters. A fixed number is not printed in the experience description.

When that counter finishes and the rating is still above 0%, leave the stall, cross the street, and board the bus. That is the Survived Ending. If the rating hits 0%, the failure line reported in play is "Status: employee fired and neutralized," and the Dead Ending badge applies.

Read Wall rules before you trust a strange face, and use Serve a correct bowl while the order is on screen.
