Food Court Fight (フードコートファイト): sort the trash on the trays customers bring back, fast
At a food court, customers keep bringing back their trays after eating. Pick up the trash on each tray with your finger and sort it into 8 places, or hand it back to the customer when it is something they left behind. There is an endless mode that keeps getting faster and 10 business days that add one new rule a day. No sign-in needed.

Food Court Fight modes
- Endless (エンドレス): customers come faster and in greater numbers. Keep going until your hearts run out; scores go on the today and all-time rankings (signed-in players only)
- Business days (営業日): 10 days. Day 1 uses only burnable, non-burnable and the tray return; each day adds one new kind of trash and rule. A day is about 2 minutes and earns 1 to 3 stars (no sign-in needed)
Basic rules of Food Court Fight
- Customers queue up and put their trays on the two places of the counter. Pick up the trash on a tray with your finger, carry it to the right box and let go.
- Tap a PET bottle to take off its cap and label. Tap a drink with a lid to take off the lid and the straw.
- Leftover drinks, ice and noodle soup go into the sink first; leftover food on a plate goes into the leftovers bin. The emptied container stays on the tray.
- The shops' plates, bowls, chopsticks and glasses are not trash: put them on the tray return. Things customers left behind (a phone, keys, a wallet) go back to the customer.
- When a tray is empty, put the tray on the return too. The customer leaves smiling, and a quicker clear earns more points.
- A customer who waits too long leaves angry and takes a heart. You have 3 hearts; when they are all gone, the run ends.
- The wrong box is a mistake: it breaks your combo and takes 3 seconds off that customer's patience (no heart is lost). The right place lights up to show you.
- Right drops in a row make a combo worth more points. Every 20 in a row starts a fever: double points for 8 seconds.
- The sorting rules are this game's food court's own. Real rules differ from town to town.

Tips for clearing fast
- Clear the customer with the least patience first (a red bar under the face, or a "!").
- Trash that must be taken apart or emptied takes more steps: start on it early.
- Return an empty tray at once: a quicker clear scores more and lets the next customer step up.
- A "?" over a customer means something they own is on the tray: hand it back.
- When a group arrives, hurry and clear the front trays first.
