How to play Mama Put Rush

The goal

Dish jollof, beans and dodo for hungry customers at a Lagos buka before they lose patience.

Controls

• Pots run out: tap an empty pot to cook more. From Day 4 you can hire an assistant, Tobi, for ₦8,000 a day: Tobi dishes whole orders and serves them for you. Five walkouts and the shop closes for the day. Meet the day's sales target to open the next day, with new food on the menu and hungrier customers.

• Desktop: the mouse looks around (click the game to capture it, Esc lets go and pauses), click dishes and serves, WASD or arrows walk behind the counter, V switches between your eyes and an over-the-shoulder view of your character, 1–4 serve a seat, Backspace throws the plate, P pauses.

• Phone: drag to look around, tap a pot to dish, tap a customer or their chit to serve.

How to play

1. Read the order chit above each customer.

1. Point at the pots and click (or tap) to dish it: one item from the pot, one meat or fish, and a side or drink if they asked for one.

1. Click (or tap) the customer to serve. Fast service earns bigger tips, and correct plates in a row build a streak bonus.
