About the Game

Up to four players build and run a restaurant from scratch, choosing dishes, buying and placing appliances – some of which can be daisy-chained together to create ambitious automatic kitchens – cooking food and serving customers.

Players have free rein to design their restaurant which will expand and develop between shifts – with additional content and challenges unlocked through progression.

Can you cook, serve and manage your way through 15 hectic days in your restaurant and unlock a brand-new franchise?

  • Classic co-op cooking action, with a wide selection of mains, sides, sauces, toppings, desserts, and starters.

  • Choose your equipment, lay out your kitchen, curate your menu and plate up your dishes.

  • From bubbling soups to sublime salads, tender steaks to hearty pies, there's something for everyone.

  • Look after front-of-house: seating customers, delivering orders, and managing patience.

  • Equip your restaurant to handle the most fickle of customers and deliver them what they need, right when they need it.

  • Co-operate with your team like a well-olive-oiled machine or build a name for yourself going it alone.

  • Exceed your goals and take your franchise to greater heights at a new location, bringing with you new unlocks and upgrade

  • Upgrade and rearrange your restaurant to your personal taste: when the restaurant closes for the day, the planning begins!

  • Decide what new equipment to purchase, and place it wherever you want.

  • Want to go high-tech? Install the turbo-ovens, crank up the conveyors, and make way for the robo-kitchen of the future.

  • Fancy something a little more... fancy? Curate your art collection, fix up that wallpaper, enlist a friend as a maître d' and get ready to provide the culinary experience of a lifetime.

  • Exceed your goals and start over at your next location, bringing with you new unlocks and upgrades.

  • Tailor your brand towards gourmet dining, or fine-tune your fast food franchise.

  • Every restaurant is procedurally-generated with its own climate, customers and conditions.

  • Return to your franchise HQ to view your achievements, customise your characters and upgrade your kit, ready for your next adventure!
