Working the night shift at Road-Side Shawarma isn't just about serving food - it's about survival. Follow these essential tips to make it through each night.

Basic Mechanics

Listen to the phone guy at the start of each night for specific rules. Follow these rules exactly - breaking them can result in death. The game has multiple nights with increasing difficulty.

Customer Service

Serve customers correctly by giving them what they ordered. Some customers have special requirements or swapped orders. Pay attention to the siblings - they swap their orders with each other.

Survival Tips

When lights go out, fix them immediately. If you see shadows on the ceiling, DON'T look up - it's a trap. Close your eyes when lights flicker and ghosts appear. Remember the meat customer requires you to throw the meat.

Phone System

Use the phone feature to call different numbers. There's a special one-time save feature available by calling a specific number the phone guy tells you about. This can save your progress during a run.

Endless Mode

After completing the main nights, try Endless Mode where you survive as long as possible. Customer count is displayed on the order board. Use all your skills and knowledge to achieve high scores.
