15 October update

This guide was prepared from earlier notes. The new build adds world controls, serving staff and further fixes. Check the current patch before following an older procedure.

Start here

Your first check

The launch patch repaired gyoza removal after loading. If the symptom remains, distinguish the lid, food pickup and serving objective before retrying.

Check the grill lid → Check food removal → Check serving recognition; suggested observation sequence

Locate the stage that fails

Look at the appliance before changing the restaurant. Can the lid be interacted with? Does the food leave the cooking surface? Does the serving instruction recognise the delivered dish? These are three separate stages. Saying which one fails narrows the question far more than reporting that gyoza are broken. The official picture below helps identify the open compartment, raised lid and front panel. It is a preview scene, so it cannot prove how a particular current save behaves.

Compare before and after a load

If you remember the food working before a saved session was resumed, record that sequence. Include whether the gyoza were already on the grill when the save was made, if known. Do not invent that detail if you did not notice it. Check the installed version before repeating a beta-era workaround. A historical fix makes the build relevant, but it does not guarantee that every superficially similar symptom has the same cause. Avoid repeated load cycles that add no new observation.

Make a co-op comparison clear

Ask one person to perform the interaction while another observes. Record who is hosting, what the lid looks like to each player, and whether the pickup prompt differs. If two players manipulate the lid simultaneously, the sequence becomes harder to explain. Once removal succeeds, follow the current serving objective and confirm which dish it names; successful pickup is not the same as completing a tray instruction. Preserve the save and report the remaining failure rather than deleting equipment as an unverified repair.

Keep a useful comparison

Use this sheet while you check the problem. Tick a row when you have recorded an observation, even if its outcome is still unresolved. Downloading creates a local text snapshot; it does not save your game or send a report.

Questions before you retry

Was a save-load gyoza issue documented?

Yes, the launch notes identify a removal repair.

Should I delete the grill or save?

This page has no verified deletion workaround. Preserve progress and collect the reproduction details first.

Where is the cooker in the image?

The low rectangular appliance has an open left compartment and a raised lid. See the linked Visual guide for labelled objects.
