- Worth noticing
- Each stall can display at most three menu items, and leaving customers waiting costs stars.
Field notes
The described stall loop combines serving customers with decorating a small frontage: the examples include a hand-painted sign, blue plastic stools, a thermos, and a potted plant. Menus are limited to three items, and the page says customers waiting too long can reduce a stall's stars. Neighbors are described as other players, with conversation appearing in speech bubbles.
