Run your own restaurant, find ingredients, research recipes and spice up your culinary repertoire! Only you can bring your establishment sweet success!

Score enough points and you'll be able to host a variety of fun events from eating contests to cooking classes, further boosting your popularity!

But of course, what's a cook without a crew? Recruit eager faces to build your own five-star team. Play your cards right and you might find yourself running multiple restaurants at once!

The sky's the limit in this sizzling new take on restaurant management, incorporating a uniquely Japanese spread that will train your brain and tantalize your taste buds!

▼Game Flow
First you need to set up your furnishings and other appointments. Select an area of the restaurant framed in orange to place tables and increase your clientele.

As you get more customers, your staff members will get busier, so you'll want to hire new employees. You can do this starting in the fifth month of your first year.

You will also want to develop new dishes. You can charge more for popular dishes, making it easier to make ends meet, so try to cultivate a menu that will attract customers.

As sales increase, your restaurant can rise in the regional rankings. Open new locations and expand them, and aim for the #1 ranking in all regions!
