Have you read the third post in this thread?? If you follow the guidance to the letter, you will be successful. TTII is not horrible as long as you are prepared; you are almost halfway there when you finish the first board of orders. One thing to think about it to make sure you have easy orders on your first board (and ones that don't require a large number of barn items that you need to store.) You can keep trashing orders until you like all that are there.
Please carefully read the quantities that you need to have stored... you need to be able to fill all your first board orders (if 2 orders both need 3 cheesecakes, then you really need 6 even though both orders will have green checks). And then you need at least 5 more of everything. I would advise leaving bread, plain popcorn, and cream until the very end; once your barn is full, you can make more and it will store on the platforms outside the machines. (This works on all the machines, BTW.)
The complete key to success is thorough preparation. Your main helper will be able to assist you if you get a bunch of the same orders... you just never know what is going to be on your later order boards!!
