About the Game

Build A Restaurant


Start with a small plot of land and build your restaurant from the ground up. Once you have made enough money, you can buy more land and expand.

Make It Beautiful


Guests want more than just good food - they care about your restaurant decor too. Make sure your restaurant is well decorated to keep them happy.

Manage Your Employees


A good team is the core of every successful business. Hire the right employees and set their priorities wisely.

Keep It Clean


It’s important to keep your restaurant clean. Guests will not be thrilled about the presence of rats.

Expand The Menu


Creating a menu seems simple, but a poorly thought-out menu is the death of many restaurants. Pick your dishes carefully and make sure they are the right price.

Customer Is King


Make sure customers are satisfied by meeting all their needs. Don’t leave them waiting too long, have plenty of restrooms, serve high quality food, and more.

Beat The Scenarios


TasteMaker contains six scenarios that offer unique challenges. Do you have what it takes to succeed?
