IT'S NOODLE TIME!

When entering this scenario, you will be immobilized behind the counter area to the right. The objective is to seat and serve as many customers as possible without losing 5.

How it works:
To work this scenario, click on the customer waiting in line to the back left of your screen. To seat them, click on the green glowing ball above a table. Around the same time you should be steadily making soup (I prefer to make a soup as I see them run up), and to make soup simply cast the "make soup" spell and it will pop out onto the counter. Click the soup (your character will pick it up) and then click on the customer you want to serve, and the bowl of soup will be tossed to their table. Voila!

Note: Your action bar will change and have 5 buttons.
The first three buttons are for making the soup. Once made, it will be placed on the counter, ready for serving!
Button 1: Make Noodle Soup > Bonus if served to Scholars.
Button 2: Make Dragon's Nest Noodle Soup > Bonus if served to Merchants.
Button 3: Make Pandaren Treasures Noodle Soup > Bonus if served to Farmhands.
The two additional buttons clear the area.
Button 4: Clear Customers
Button 5: Clear Food

CUSTOMER TYPES
To make it a little more complicated, there are three different types of customers:
Scholar > These are just normal customers.
Hungry Scholar > These customers are Hungry and will want a second bowl.
Impatient Scholar > These customers are Impatient and will not tolerate slow service!
Note: To see what type of customer they are at a glance, turn on their nameplates under Main Menu > Interface > Names > Unit Nameplates and check the box for Friendly Units. (This may differ depending on how your UI is set up. Mine shows no NPC names at all, just as a personal preference.)

Be careful, as each customer and each bowl of soup you make has its own timer! This is made visible by a green (at first) clock above the customer/bowl, which slowly turns yellow and orange as time passes. If left too long unattended, customers will run away and the soup will explode!

BONUS POINTS
From my limited experience thus far, bonus points are possibly earned when you seat customers quickly, serve customers quickly, and serve the customer their preferred soup type.
Edit to add a confirmed mechanic (thanks Kamikaze28):
Bonus points are also earned when you build up combos through two things:
- Chaining Seating > Seating customers multiple times in a row. Combo breaks when you serve a customer soup.
- Chaining Delivering > Serving soup multiple times in a row. Combo breaks when you seat a customer.
Note: Making soup does not affect the combo-building.

Personally I always make the soup when I see them running with my hotkeys:
1- is for scholars which are wearing a teal/light blue robe,
2- is for merchants which wear a dark blue coat and pants
and 3- is for farmhands which are wearing a red shirt and usually a hat (not sure if all do).

then you can also see if they are hungry (they want 2 bowls) by red jaws by their stomach, and impatient by the white line behind them which looks like the sprinting spell from rogues,

then you seat them by clicking them and clicking the sphere of the table that is free,

then you throw them their soup and then they leave after eating unless they're hungry then they want another bowl,

I prefer to be making the second bowl after the customer that came after the hungry one.

*edit*
changed red orb thing to red jaws, thanks to Alayea, but I think you can see in the comments.
