Great job, this is really fun -- like _Overcooked_ with no space -- and it just needs some simple background music to make it complete.
I loved the concept of serving hotdogs in a limited space. It's a great take on the theme and the only thing I didn't understand at first was that I needed to hold the order in my hands so that it could be handed out. It took me a minute but after that I started again and made over $50. I started to get the hang of it and pre-prepared a bunch of dogs in advance, it was really fun :)
Perhaps 2 small things which could be improved:
- Some background music would be awesome! A little New York theme or something :)
- The sound when putting things down is way too loud compared to the other sounds... I felt like my microwaves were exploding every time!
Overall a fantastic entry, great job!

Really enjoyed to play, you should maybe put a little bit more music/audio.
You thought about the whole scene and not just the playable part and this is really great!
Really the only thing I just didn't like was from the side menu for getting the condiments. The menu works well itself, but noticed I was getting frustrated in instances where I'd already be holding like mustard, and would select ketchup, and instead of swapping the mustard for the ketchup, it would just put the mustard back. I'd move away from the menu then and forget i had to select ketchup a second time to get it.
Another nice thing would have been to have a restart/retry on the game over screen, instead of having to go back to the main menu and selecting play again.
All around though, excellent entry. Made $106
