I think if it had better movement controls, the expiration time could work. It's just feels like it expires fairly quickly since I have to keep adjusting myself to get it to move in the correct direction. I have been able to get the dishes done in time, I made about 7 before needing a break. I would say that if you work on this more, to first see about improving the movement before adjusting the times. I do enjoy the pushing mechanic, it just feels as a little hard since the items are in a way you can't get behind them without sacrificing other items. I'm just one of those gamers that dislike the feeling of "losing out" of something despite it probably not mattering in the end. I would like to note that near the end of my play session I noticed the food in the right area either started clumping closely together, or a lot of them were spawning in. I would like to revisit this when and if it gets built up a bit more. Thank you for your time, and have a nice day!
