From the Steam store

All the students are coming for lunch today.

You are a cafeteria cook at a school. Your budget is tight, lunch break is barely an hour, and every student wants a different amount of food.

You can't handle this alone. Call your friends.

How a Day Unfolds

Ordering Check today's menu and order ingredients. On Tonkatsu (Pork Cutlet) days, demand explodes; on Spinach Salad days, nobody wants extra. Order too little, and students at the back go hungry. Order too much, and the leftovers hit your budget hard.

Cooking Cook massive batches using giant cauldrons, deep fryers, and stir-fry pans. Once done, scoop the food into pans and carry them to the serving stations. Leave them on the heat and forget about them? They burn.

Serving Dish out food across 5 serving stations. "Just a little, please!" "Load me up!" — Every student has a different preference. Give too much, and it becomes food waste. Give too little, and complaints pile up.

Dishwashing The school only has a limited number of food trays. Once they run out, the line stops. Someone has to leave the serving station and head over to the sink.

Daily Settlement Meal revenues, ingredient costs, food waste penalties, and school subsidies. What you earn today becomes tomorrow’s budget.

And... Pre-serving for the Staff

Before lunch officially starts, you must set aside portions for the principal, vice principal, and teachers. Forget to do this, and your rating tanks. Hard.

The catch? Pan capacities are limited. If you pack a generous portion for the principal, there's that much less for the students.

Scales with Player Count

• 1–2 Players: You'll miss serving while cooking, and dishes will stack up while serving. • 3–4 Players: Everyone has to juggle multiple roles. • 5–8 Players: Divide and conquer: dedicated cooks, servers, and dishwashers.

At unmanned serving stations, students will help themselves — and they won't hold back. You can hire AI cooks with money, but that cuts into your profit. In the end, real friends are always the best solution.

Ever-Changing Daily Menus

White Rice, Fried Rice, Seaweed Soup, Kimchi Stew, Tonkatsu, Spicy Pork, Kimchi, Radish Kimchi, Spinach Salad, Yogurt, Chocolate Milk...

Every dish has different popularity, cost, and cooking equipment requirements. Reading today's menu and deciding how many batches to order is half the strategy!
