Why do some of the stations at the top have angry faces and wont cook pretzels?

[The Mighty Georg]

In the tutorial I needed 2 more pretzels, every time i clicked just angry faces up the top, i unlicked them re-clicked multiple times, then one of the stations started working, what am I missing here?

example: i start cooking on the left most station, angry faces until the last cooking station
when it starts making pretzels, the same thing i clicked every time.

The angry faces mean that you messed up the food. When you're making food in the holding stations, you must follow the recipe that shows on the bottom of the screen like for any normal order.

I get the exact same problem, with at least half of my pretzel attempts failing, over and over, despite following the same steps every time. It doesn't matter if I use the keyboard inputs, or the mouse; it's either definitely bugged, or there are actions that aren't being explained.

I have played tutorial, the Pretzel serving is totally fine. When the order said German, you have to press "G"; when the order said Classic, you have to press "C". Then Enter/Right click
Not a random button.

When the food in Holding Station is done, pressing once will ask a confirmation for delete. Press once again to delete. This is useful for later level when serving count is low or food is spoiled (like the OP's screenshot).

I just tried it again and I'm still having the same problem but i'll try to explain it better.

As per the screen shot I have 8 people waiting for pretzels, I'm not sure how to tell if they want german or classic but ill start with classic, it wont cook, next table i pick german, it wont cook, next table i pick classic, it wont cook, then the last table i pick german and it starts cooking even though the first 3 table arn't cooking. If they wanted german why didnt the 2nd station start cooking?

I never played any of cook serve games so I assume I'm just being dumb. Maybe I am clicking something wrong, i tried with xbox, then just using mouse and kb but im still having the same issue.

I can finish the level but it just bugs me that I'm obviously missing something.

When making the pretzels, the bottom of the screen will tell you if you're supposed to use classic or german pretzels. If it says classic, use classic. If german, use german. This applies to most of the holding station foods. Replay the tutorial if you're still having trouble.

Because you cannot serve food in holding station if:
- Wrong order (unhappy face)
- Rotten food (x x face)

The only option is to trash and re-cook, Press once the station number to delete. (You will see trash bin icon)

Read the order and press button carefully for any Holding Station servings. If the bottom of tray says "German", press G, NOT C. My reason is that you labeled that tray as German, but inside is Classic style, and customers not happy with it until you get the basics right.
