Chores

in Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!, or Work Tickets, consist of tasks other than food preparation, like taking out trash, washing dishes, or trapping pests.

A chore occupies one Prep Station, its timer is not affected by the buzz and does not receive time bonuses from side dishes.

A number of chores per day depends on the boosters and detractors of the foods you currently have on the menu.

Failing to do a chore or missing it results in a Sick rating which significantly decreases your buzz.
