Not sure if this is possible as an appliance or not.
Table Basket

-Has 4 slots for table consumables
-Can store ketchup, cutlery, candles etc
-Can be pre-loaded and set on tables during the day,
-Ketchup (and similar items) would not be consumed, and will remain in basket for customers to use.
-Consumables will continue to be consumed.
-The Appliance could come with a set of 3 of these baskets.

This would be overpowered for Hot Dog franchises, but would also make consumables more useful in the first place. As well as giving server players some prep work.

Not sure if table basket is their actual name, they come in a bunch of varieties.

I was thinking about these items for a long time.
"Tidy Hop"

an upgrade version of Hop.
Just normal 100% speed (or 75% also fine) but not create any mess.

"Teppanyaki grills"


Similar to Hop but just not provide negative effect of Hop while put next to customer seat!
(I also think that it would be nice if we can "interact" to cook food faster)

How about a mini version of the "elf house" found on the north pole map. It would be either the price of a teleporter or the unused the 2500 pricetier.

Ok hear me out - what if there was an appliance where the plateup gods randomly select a food on your menu, and if you provide that food to the appliance you get a buff the next day based on how much food you give.

e.g gods want carrot soup, and you give 5 carrot soup and get a 10% coin bonus the next day.

@Samalander, that sounds like a whole mod in itself. That is a neat idea, like a sort of mini-quest/bonus objective on certain days.

how about blacklist cabinet, any blueprints in cabinet remove item from all pools. possibly hold 4 blueprints per cabinet. maybe as an upgrade from normal blueprint cabinet

combinable cloth table!!!!! sits 4+ people at table...everyone orders same thing!!!!!
