Your next step
Burnt gyoza can now be served for gyoza orders, according to the 15 October patch. The degree of burning affects the dish rating, so accepted food is not the same as a good result.
Acceptance and quality answer different questions
A customer recognising a plate tells you that it can count as the requested dish. The rating answers how well that dish turned out. The update changes the first condition by allowing burnt gyoza for gyoza orders, while explicitly keeping burning relevant to quality. Do not diagnose a lower rating as a failed handoff merely because the plate was eaten. Note both the service outcome and the feedback before changing your cooking routine.
Use a comparison you can actually interpret
Keep the same type of order when comparing your next plate. Record the visible cooking state, whether the customer accepted it and the exact rating comment. Changing toppings, service arrangement and cooking state together makes the result harder to explain. We have not measured a timer or a burn threshold, so this guide does not invent seconds for the cooker. Use the visual and instruction cues in your own build and keep a screenshot with your notes.
Check the handoff separately
For a ramen order with sides, stage the requested set at the Serving Staff Workstation if you are using that role. If food does not leave the station, first check that the ramen and side match the intended request. If it leaves but scores badly, read the dish feedback before blaming the employee. The serving change does not promise that burnt food is free of penalties, and the notes give no fixed score deduction for a particular colour.

| Cooking | Visible state of the gyoza | No measured timer is claimed |
| Acceptance | Was the plate served? | Eligibility is one question |
| Quality | Exact rating feedback | Burning still affects quality |
| Handoff | Matching ramen and side | Separate delivery from cooking |
