To complete the Bonus, you must make food (via keyboard), and seat customers (via mouse) at the same time. Failing to do this will result in a failed Bonus attempt. At the beginning, you can make food as they run in from off-screen (takes them about 2 seconds or so to run in), so as you click on them to seat them, you should be able to serve them immediately.
