Lantern Lunch
Serve three diners their THREE courses in order. Each table shows its next dish and patience. Every serving lowers OTHER unfinished tables by one; the served table resets to 4. Nobody may reach zero. The conveyor has nine dishes; Reserve saves or swaps the next dish once per serving so you can rescue an urgent table. Tap a table to serve. Wrong dishes spoil and still spend patience; three spoiled dishes close the kitchen.
