Detailed walkthrough
Get into range of Mama Dolce's Food Processing for the quest to start.

Collecting items
There are a constant barrage of protectrons and Liberators.

There are three times that need to be collected:
 * 5 dehydrated beef stocks
 * 5 diced vegetable mixes
 * 5 meat-flavored soy chunks

These are located (unfinished list):


 * Office, downstairs toilet
 * Office, upstairs
 * On top of shelving next to a locked cage
 * On top of the upper console
 * In the lockers
 * Next to the conveyor belt

Running the machines
Activate the machinery from the terminal. There are two sections that repeat until the timer runs out, defending and repairing.

Defending
Defend three control consoles, one and two are on the lower floor, one is on the upper. The first wave are various kinds of radroaches and generally go for console two and some for console one.

The second and third wave are various kinds of feral ghouls and generally go for console two and console one. Sometimes a stray ghoul will go for console three, so keep alert. If console one and console two are destroyed, just defend console three.

Repairing
In between waves, alarm bells will ring. Someone needs to run the diagnostic routine on the terminal, which will explain the problem. The issues that need repairing are random and include:
 * Activate the fuse box.
 * Activate pressure-release valve.
 * Repair pipe (3 steel required).

Rewards
Upon completing this event, everyone participating in the event will receive 5 canned meat stew, as well as canned dog food and other items dependent upon Charisma possessed. Prior to Fallout 76 patch 1.0.3.10, everyone on the server received the reward.

Bugs
Adding ingredients into the hopper of the food processor machinery too quickly can cause random inventory items to unintentionally be lost.
