- At the Order Station, take orders for toppings, placement, baking time, and pizza cutting.
- Topping Station: Apply cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, or olives on the cake in the desired place. Simple pixel icons symbolize topping pictures.

- At the Cut Station, use the “electronic” cutter to divide the cake into the necessary parts. The final score depends on cut accuracy.
Tips and Tricks
- Remember the order of popular toppings: Since there are no clear graphics like modern versions, you must memorize typical orders to work faster.
- Baking time matters: Because the simple heating element does not display each accuracy level, practice your sense of time.
- Watch the order symbols: Each 8-bit topping or cake cutting symbol is abstract. Small mistakes might annoy customers.
- Serve VIP customers well: Future "mysterious" characters will visit the shop and provide surprises if you serve well.
- In version 2600, a "beep" or "bloop" sound indicates each baking stage or fault. Learn to discern!
