PlateUp!

I found the overtime to be difficult in this game until I started always picking the-15% customer cards. A lot of them will modify your main dish, these are all pretty easy except for stuffing on turkey which is a pain. The starter cards will always add a starter before they order main dish. If you have soup or more than 1 soup make sure to cook the broth before taking an order. The deserts are random if the customers want them or not and are generally easy to do.

Bread starter and apple salad cheese board dessert use a serving board which works like a plate and prevents you from serving them the main dish or the next customer from sitting down if you don't remove it from the table.

Pumpkin things all kind of suck too because they generate 1 trash, either the seeds or the pumpkin itself.

Soups can be served by dropping the whole pot on the table. Soups come with 3 servings before you have to cook another batch. If you are down to 1 serving you can remove it from the pot by holding x in front of the pot. It then works like a dessert or other starters where you deliver it as it is and don't have to put it on a plate.

Another tip is after you fail in OT make sure to keep any -15% cards when you franchise. This will start your franchise run with your main dish and 3 cards that reduce people. During each run stay focused on those and when you are a tier 2-4 Overtime is more manageable albeit more difficult day to day but much fewer customers.
