“Thank you and see you next time──” Another customer left. You’ve no idea how many times you’ve repeated this today.
Known for its delicious burgers, this restaurant is a hot topic on social media. You even have a part-time job here because you are obsessed with the food. However, high popularity also leads to high-intensity work. The work pace of the restaurant is very tight…if it wasn’t for the free burgers, you wouldn’t want to work here.
Finally it was time for the shift change, you happily handed over the ordering area to your colleagues and went to the kitchen at the back. Your throat was hoarse already, but compared with receiving customers, the work at the back is a lot easier.
Unpacking, replenishing supplies, supporting meal preparation… There were a lot of to-dos here too. Just as you were busy, the phone in the store rang. The caller ordered burgers for thirty people and asked you to prepare the meals within 45 minutes. You took a look at the remaining ingredients in the kitchen and suddenly fell into distress. The ingredients in the kitchen were all required for daily operations that day. When it comes to such an unusual urgent order, the ingredients on hand were simply not enough to cope with it… The spare stocks are placed in the frozen warehouse at the back. But in order to prevent the leak out of the recipe, only the store manager was allowed to enter. And by chance, the manager was not in the store at the moment. What should we do?
“Should be fine if we just get in there to pick up some stock I guess? I don’t think the manager will blame you for breaking the rules in order to process an urgent order.” Time passed by, and there was no time for you to hesitate anymore. Encouraged by your colleagues, you bite the bullet and unlock the door of the freezer warehouse.
You never would have imagined that you would discover a huge secret hidden in this restaurant. What’s so special about the frozen warehouse that only managers are allowed in? Why do the meals in this place leave customers with endless aftertaste? This ordinary working day is about to begin with an extraordinary adventure…
After entering the warehouse, you didn’t notice that a camera was secretly monitoring your every move in the corner. There’s a distinct mark on it: “Z”…

「謝謝惠顧歡迎下次光臨──」又目送一位食客出門, 你已經數不清今天重複這句話多少次了。
這家美式餐廳以美味的漢堡而聞名, 是在社交媒體上的熱門話題, 甚至你本人也因為常常對這裡的餐點念念不忘而乾脆在這裡打起了兼職。話雖如此, 高企的人氣也導致了高強度的工作. 餐廳的工作節奏非常緊湊⋯⋯如果不是這裡的伙食是免費的漢堡, 你才不想在這裡打工呢。
好不容易捱到了換班的時間, 你興高采烈地和後勤區的同事交接, 到了後面的廚房。你的喉嚨已經非常沙啞, 比起接待客人, 還是當後勤壓力比較小。
開箱、補貨、支援餐點製作⋯⋯後勤區的待辦事項也不少。正當你忙碌之際, 店裡的外賣電話響起. 來電的客人點了三十人份的漢堡, 並且要求你們在45分鐘內準備好餐點, 你看了一眼廚房剩餘的食材, 頓時陷入了苦惱。廚房的材料都是當天日常運作所需的量, 遇上這種誇張的緊急訂單, 目前手上的食材根本不足以應付⋯⋯備用的食材都是放在後方的冷凍倉庫, 但為了防止食譜秘方外洩, 那個倉庫規定只有店長才能進入, 而目前店長非常剛好地不在店裡。該怎麼辦呢?
「進去拿點食材不會怎樣吧? 為了處理緊急訂單而迫不得已違規, 店長應該也不會怪罪的。」時間一分一秒的過, 已經沒有時間再讓你們遲疑了。在同事們的慫恿下, 你硬著頭皮解鎖了冷凍倉庫的門。
你萬萬想不到, 你卻因此發現了這家餐廳隱藏著的一個天大秘密。冷凍倉庫到底有什麼特別, 只准店長進去? 這家店的餐點為什麼能讓吃過的客人都回味無窮? 這平凡的工作天, 即將迎來一場不太平凡的冒險⋯⋯
進入倉庫後, 你並未發現有一台監視器正在角落默默的監視著你的一舉一動。監視器上有一個鮮明的記號: “Z”⋯⋯
