How to get drinks OFF the drink tray

[ratanegra19]

I might just be missing something obvious, but in the fast-paced environment of the bar it can be difficult to pick up new details--how in the world do you get the drinks OFF the tray once you've poured them, besides serving them to customers?

The problem I'm running into is that I'm moving fast and will sometimes pull a drink I don't mean to, that no one has ordered. But while I'm holding the damn thing, I can't clean tables, expel customers, etc. So everyone in my tavern is angry with me while I'm stuck holding this one useless Pale Ale :/

The UI is designed for ants.

Press and hold R to get rid of drinks you're holding (it shows a tiny R next to the drinks on bottom left). You can still clean tables and clean floor while holding on to the drinks btw.

Ah, ok! I hit R, but didn't hold it down--that must be the trouble! And it's good to know I can still clean tables--I thought I'd tried it, but tbh I was panicking just a bit at that point so I may well have hit a different key, lol

Much obliged!

On the steam deck it says RB to put drinks back but I cannot find how to get the drinks you do not need off the tray! Please help!

I'm guessing you hold it down? I think it's R for keyboard or whatever key you use to rotate objects in controller-based interfaces.

Yes, you have to hold it down.

You will see a little red ring start and go around the "R".

When it gets all the way around the drink will go away.

Cheers..!

I totally didn't know you COULD do this. I just carry the drinks around like an idiot until someone wants them! :P

When I have to play waitress I load up a tray with commons and carry it everywhere inside as long as I'm working it.

I find it to be a fun way of diverting myself from the joy of having to do it. I try to build a tray that will sell out without having to pour another drink.... ?B)

Cheers..!

Or people with insanely good eyesight. I can't even play the game without my reading glasses because too much information is too small to read, and even _with_ my reading glasses I struggle to see things on the Steam Deck.

They really need to improve this game's UI accessibility.

I play on a 43 inch monitor 2 foot from my face and I still have a hard time with this UI...

I did the upgrade or size thingy, and it did help, but there are spots where I really can't tell what something is. Corn I can tell. Corn is a good ingredient because I can see it and say "yep, that's corn"...

I feel bad for people trying to play this on tiny screens.

Cheers..!
