How does ordering work?

Ordering is straightforward once you know the pattern: cash only, pay up front, takeout option, simple menu. You queue, you say what you want, you pay, and the food arrives at the counter or the table depending on the setup, which is why the door-to-table time stays short even at the lunch rush. If you are with a group, send one person to hold a table while another orders — the queue moves faster than the kitchen does.
