Level 15 opens the fryer, chicken, plates, oil and lemon.
The 5 November update adds Karaage Chicken as a side order. At Shop Level 15 you can buy the Deep Fryer, Karaage Chicken Pack, Fried Food Plate and Cooking Oil, plus lemon to cut for a topping. Fill the fryer with cooking oil and replace the oil as it gets dirty. On 6 November, Wild Dog removed the tutorial step that waited for a customer order.
Keep these distinctions clear
| Question | Confirmed information |
|---|---|
| Unlock | Shop Level 15 |
| New purchases | Deep Fryer, Karaage Chicken Pack, Fried Food Plate, Cooking Oil; lemon is also available at Level 15 |
| Maintenance | Oil gets dirty with use and needs replacement |
| Current tutorial | The wait-for-order step was removed in v0.1.74.19895 |
| Not established here | Cooking duration, portion counts, prices, profits or a best recipe |
Buy a working station, not just an appliance
Start with the Level 15 purchase list. A Deep Fryer supplies the equipment, the Karaage Chicken Pack supplies the food, Cooking Oil supplies the fryer and a Fried Food Plate supplies the serving dish. The update also introduces a cuttable lemon at the same level. A missing plate or oil supply belongs to a different part of the job from an unavailable appliance.
Before adding the side to your routine, inspect what you already own and the current tutorial prompt. Put each required item on a short shopping list rather than buying another fryer because a later step is blocked. Purchase prices, portions per pack and cooking times are not specified in the announcement; use the values and prompts in your current build.
Check five things before experimenting: level, fryer, chicken pack, cooking oil and serving plate. Treat lemon as its own preparation task.
Read the new official image without turning it into a recipe
The developer’s update image shows chicken in the fryer and two plated examples on the adjoining worktop. The nearer light-coloured serving has a lemon wedge and a green garnish; the other serving is visibly darker. These are useful visual references for recognising the new food and equipment.
A still image cannot establish the required timer, oil temperature, portion count or scoring rule. In particular, do not assume that everything visible on the pictured plate is a mandatory ingredient for every order. Read the order and tutorial for your actual dish. We retain the unaltered composition and credit the original announcement.
Oil replacement is now part of the job
Wild Dog explicitly says cooking oil becomes dirty with use and should be replaced regularly. That makes oil a recurring supply concern, rather than a single purchase that completes the station forever. Check the condition shown in the game before assuming that the same starting setup remains ready throughout a long session.
For a co-op shop, assign the oil check to a named person alongside the chicken supply. This is a suggested division of work, not a new staff role announced by the patch. If something seems wrong, record the visible oil state and the action offered before changing several ingredients at once. No universal replacement interval is verified here.
Include oil condition in your restocking check. The official note gives a maintenance requirement, not a fixed number of batches.
Tutorial stuck waiting for an order? Check the 6 November fix
Version v0.1.74.19895 removes the “wait for a customer order” step from the Karaage tutorial. If an older video tells you to remain at that step, its sequence no longer describes the current tutorial. Compare the installed version and active instruction before spending another shift trying to attract the right customer.
A different missing item or uncompleted cooking action is not automatically the same bug. Keep the exact prompt and the last action you performed if progress still stops. The 5 November patch also gives tutorial interactions a different outline colour from ordinary interactions; the intended target may be easier to distinguish than it was in older footage.
Add the side without losing the main order
The practical question is who owns the side while ramen is being finished. In a two-person shop, try assigning one complete order to the front-of-house player for the final check. The cook can say which component is ready and which is still in progress. This avoids treating a finished bowl as a finished meal.
Compare a small set of orders before widening your menu further. Note the first delay: supplies, cooking, plating, delivery or cleanup. The new food is real; claims that it is the best money-maker or that a particular layout guarantees faster service still need measured gameplay evidence.
Before you change your setup
Do I need to wait for a customer to finish the tutorial?
The named wait-for-customer-order step was removed on 6 November. Follow the remaining instructions in the updated build.
How often should I replace the oil?
The developer says it gets dirty with use and should be replaced regularly, but gives no fixed batch interval in these notes.
Does Fried Crab no longer needing refrigeration apply to chicken too?
No. The 6 November refrigeration change explicitly names Fried Crab. Do not extend it to Karaage Chicken or every food item.
