Build and decorate your own dining room
Buy more land and add floors as the money comes in. Decor matters, since guests judge the room as well as the food, and a clean, well-kept space keeps ratings up. The look is colorful and stylized, viewed from above, and the building itself is freeform enough to make a cafe, pub or casino-style side room if you want.
Run the menu, staff and daily mess
You pick the dishes, set prices and order ingredients, then hire staff and set who cooks, serves, washes dishes and cleans. Get the balance right and the place runs itself while you watch orders move from kitchen to table. Leave floors dirty or dishes piled up and rats appear, which guests notice. It stays low-pressure throughout, with no hard fail state, so the satisfaction comes from smoothing out the workflow rather than beating a crisis.
Good to know?
How many scenarios are there?
Six scenarios with different challenges, plus a sandbox mode for building without objectives. The scenarios teach the same core loop in new layouts, so expect variations on a theme rather than new systems each time.
Can you expand the building?
Yes. Once the restaurant earns enough, you can buy more land and add new floors, which lets you grow from a tight starter room into a larger dining space with more tables and equipment.
Do you control staff directly?
No. You hire employees and set their task priorities, such as cooking, serving, dishwashing and cleaning, and they carry out the work on their own. Staff can drop and break dishes, so restocking plates and glasses is part of the routine.
