Gyros
A Greek classic, gyros are originally made from lamb. As this dish's popularity grew, so did its variety. Now you'll commonly find it made with beef, pork, or even chicken. It looks like you'll be serving it traditionally, from a vertical meat rotisserie in the lower left corner. To start a gyro:

- When it's done, it will automatically move to the meat pan above.
- Tap the pita dough under the counter in the middle to start grilling it.
- Tap the pita dough when it's done cooking. This will move it to the meat pan.
- Tap the meat pan to move the the roast meat to the pita, and then the pita to a plate.
- Tap the plate to serve the customer.
Some customers will ask for additional sides. These include yogurt sauce, french fries, and veggies.

- Yogurt sauce is located on the counter to the left, next to the meat pan. Tap on it to add it to a gyro plate.
- The veggies are located above the yogurt sauce. Tap on them to add them to a gyro plate.
Dakos
Sometimes written ntakos, dakos are a Greek salad consisting of a slice of soaked dried bread or barley rusk, usually topped with olives, tomatoes, and cheese. You'll also be serving it this traditional way! To start making dakos:
- Tap the barley bread under the counter in the middle, to the right of the basket. This will move it to the dakos pan above.
- When the bread is finished cooking, tap the pan to move it to a plate.

Cream puffs
You'll be serving Greek cream puffs called kokakia, covered in a sweet chocolate drizzle and fresh from the oven! To prepare the cream puff just tap on the cream puff oven in the lower right corner. The cream puff will bake for several seconds before automatically moving to a plate. To serve the customer just tap on the plate.
Peach lemonade
Temperatures can soar into the upper nineties during summer in Athens, so customers are going to want something quick to cool off! You'll be serving peach lemonade. To fill an order, tap on the lemonade jug on the far right side of the counter. This will fill a glass, and tapping it will serve the customer. The jug will refill all glasses automatically once you have served the first order for lemonade!
Tips & tricks
Cream puffs will automatically move from the oven to the serving plate when they’re finished. To ensure you never run out, tap the cream puff oven every time you serve a cream puff. Since cream puffs and peach lemonade don’t have additional ingredients, they’re the easiest way to get five-plate combinations. Wait until several customers have ordered cream puffs and peach lemonade, and complete the orders in quick succession.
Roast meat also moves automatically from the gyro grill to the meat pan, so tapping the gyro grill consistently throughout the game will ensure the meat pan remains full.
Upgrading kitchen equipment (items, like the gyros grill or the peach lemonade jug, that increase amount of servings you can provide at once) will help you out a lot! Especially when orders get a little crazy.
