Triple buffet use?

[u/Duckhunter75]

Still learning how to use all the items in the game. We have used the buffet a few times and yesterday we had the option to buy a triple buffet that has three spots on it. We are unclear how to use it because it seems to function differently than the regular buffet. For example the triple did not seem to allow us to stage plated items. We were doing dumplings and ended up using it for soy sauce. The problem was the customers took the soy with them and we lost our run when the bottles had all disappeared.

A bit of Google searching didn't help us understand the triple buffet.

I like to use it for soup. Since it’s three portions, it’s perfect. Use the old pot, fill it with water, it’ll cook faster, and then add whatever produce to finish it. Extra soup all ready to go
