Step-by-step cooking, done by hand

Every dish has its own little production line. You buy ingredients, haul them to storage, prep them, run them through the right equipment, finish each cooking step, and get the plate to the waiting table before patience runs out.

Bubble tea is all about drinks and flavor tweaks. Sushi changes the job completely, with its own recipes, equipment, and a conveyor belt to keep moving. There are no fixed levels, just a business that keeps growing messier until you fix it.

A kitchen layout that is yours to blame

You place the cookers, counters, storage units, and workstations yourself, and you expand the space as money comes in.

The fun is in the workflow. Move a shelf, shorten a route, split prep from serving, and watch the same dinner rush suddenly run smooth. Each restaurant needs its own floor plan, so what worked for bubble tea will not save your sushi bar.

Hire staff, then actually trust them

You do not have to do everything forever. NPC employees can take orders, prep ingredients, cook, serve dishes, restock shelves, and tidy supplies — basically anything you can do, minus the complaining.

Build a crew good enough to run the place while you handle expansion and menus, then jump back onto the line when orders pile up. A well-trained team hums along.

Your menu, your rules, your chaos

Unlock recipes, pick what gets served each day, switch off the dishes that always slow you down, and adjust flavors to fit the style of the place. The bright, cartoon look and top-down 3D view keep it relaxed even when tickets stack up.

Play solo with staff backup, or bring friends and split the work properly: one on drinks, one on cooking, one sprinting between tables pretending that was the plan all along.

What else should you know?

What restaurants can you run?

You start with a cozy bubble tea shop focused on drinks and flavor customization, then unlock a sushi restaurant with different recipes, equipment, and conveyor-belt service. Each one plays and lays out differently.

Do you have to micromanage every plate?

Only if you enjoy suffering. You can cook and serve everything yourself, build an NPC team that handles orders, cooking, serving, and restocking, or mix both and jump in when the rush hits.

Can you play with friends?

Yes. Run the whole place alone, lean on hired staff, or play online co-op and divide the jobs — cooking, serving, restocking, organizing — so the restaurant keeps moving.

Is it relaxed or hectic?

Both, by design. The look is bright, cute, and cozy, and there are no fixed levels to beat. The tension comes from your own ambition: bigger menus, more tables, and a lunch rush that finds every flaw in your kitchen.
