Food on heat lamps disappear?

[Commander Freedom]

If I put cooked ingredients on the heater in the morning when the evening starts the food isn't there anymore?

Is it a bug or part of the tutorial?
I just started the opening.

Yes, during the day you can keep food only in the fridge or on the warmer but not under the heat lamps, you can use them only during the evening

[Joney-F]

No, it's not a tutorial or a bug, it's by design. Dishes placed in heat lamps during preparation will not carry over to evening service.

Yes, they disappear. Only the food/ingredients in the fridges and the food in the warmers will stay when the evening service starts. Everywhere else they will disappear. Even your spices will be gone so you have to get them back from the spice rack.

It's a failsave. If you prepare everything beforehand, the dinner service has zero tension.
