Recipe and small-module equipment
A Taco Tray plus Tortilla, followed by Cooked Mince, produces four portions. Customers request two or three tacos and can take them directly from the full tray.
The small table-side module uses 3 Grabbers, 2 Combiners, 1 Safety Hob and 1 Conveyor. Keep the Taco Tray on the central Conveyor, reachable from the customer’s seat. Both ingredient Combiners point into this tray.
Connect the two ingredient lines
- Mince provider → Grabber → Safety Hob → Grabber → meat Combiner → tray. The Grabber takes the mince after cooking completes.
- Tortilla provider → Grabber → Tortilla Combiner → tray. Tortilla must be combined first; the cooked mince cannot finish a tray without it.
- Place one blue Taco Tray on the central Conveyor manually at the beginning of every service day.
- Keep the tray at this production node. When customers empty it, the ingredient lines can refill it. The tray does not need washing between customers.
The Conveyor’s exit must face a position without an accepting appliance, so it cannot push the tray onto a table or Combiner and remove it from the refill point. Use Practice Mode to verify that customers can take portions and that the empty tray remains available for refilling.
Buffet and later variants
An ordinary Buffet can offer a finished portionable Taco Tray for customers to take from. That is a different delivery end from the table-side single-Conveyor design: it still needs tray refill and order handling.
In 1.5, a Portioner can combine Tortilla directly from its provider onto a tray on the Portioner. This does not make loose ingredients on a Counter equivalent to an ingredient provider.
Safety Hobs tolerate a blocked output. A Danger Hob can cook faster, but the design must reliably combine a suitable tray onto the food before it burns. The small module here does not guarantee high group counts or all topping combinations. Cheese, Lettuce, Onion and Tomato cards need their own preparation and combination branches.
