The Closing Shift Recipes and Coffee Orders Guide

A comprehensive guide to making coffee, chillappuccinos, and serving customer orders in Chilla's Art horror game The Closing Shift.

Working the late shift at Chilla's Coffee requires mastering a variety of drink recipes and food items while dealing with unsettling customers. This guide details every coffee order, chillappuccino, and snack required to successfully progress through the shifts in The Closing Shift.

Basic Preparation Concepts

Before diving into specific recipes, you must understand the core mechanics of preparing hot drinks, cold drinks, and pastries behind the counter at Chilla's Coffee. The whiteboard located in the back room displays all necessary ingredients for every beverage in the game.

  • Pouring Coffee: Place either a Hot Cup or Cold Cup in front of the coffee machine depending on the requested order type.
  • Steaming Milk: Place a Milk Jug on the flat surface in front of the Milk Steamer, then use a Milk carton from the right-hand refrigerator on the jug. Retrieve the jug once the steaming process finishes.
  • Blending Ice: Place a Blender Cup on the flat surface in front of the blender. Open the ice refrigerator, grab some ice, and use it on the blender cup before placing the cup into the blender.
  • Serving Drinks: Add ingredients one at a time to the appropriate cup. Attach the matching cup lid (Hot Cup Lid or Cold Cup Lid), pick up the cup, place it on the counter in front of the customer, and apply the corresponding Order Sticker from the printer.
  • Handling Mistakes: If you make an error or pick up an unwanted ingredient, throw it into the trash can near the customer counter. Attempting to use an Order Sticker on an incorrect drink will trigger a buzzer sound.
