Description

Design, build, and manage your own restaurant in a simulation where your layout choices are just as important as your cooking skills.

Start with a small kitchen and a few basic appliances. Your goal is to grow into a massive establishment capable of serving dozens of tables simultaneously without collapsing under the weight of your own ambition.

BUILD & CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING

There are no preset kitchens here. You have total control over your restaurant's footprint and design.

• Infinite Expansion: Buy grids and expand your floor plan without limits. Whether you want a compact corner bistro or a sprawling banquet hall, the choice is yours.

• Total Control: Design every wall, floor tile, and counter exactly how you want it. Design an efficient assembly line to minimize walking distance, or build a chaotic maze...if you can build it, you can run it.

CURATE YOUR MENU

You decide what goes on the pass.

• Menu Selection: You pick the "Menu Stack." Run a classic burger joint one day, switch to a high-end steakhouse the next, or pivot to pizzas, breakfast, and more!

• Adapt Your Kitchen: Different menus require different tools. You’ll need to buy and arrange the right equipment to handle the specific prep and cooking requirements of your chosen dishes.

HANDS-ON SERVICE

Once the doors open, it’s all about execution.

• High-Volume Management: As you expand to host more tables, the flow of orders becomes a torrent. You’ll need to coordinate cooking, plating, serving, and cleaning in real-time.

• Time-Based Cooking: Chop ingredients, and assemble plates. Mistakes happen, and recovering from them is part of the gameplay loop.

BUILD AN EMPIRE OR FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL

Whether you want long-term progression or a hardcore challenge, the kitchen adapts to your style.

• Career Mode: Start from scratch with a limited budget and basic equipment. As you earn profit, reinvest in your business to unlock new appliances, expand your floor plan, and tackle complex menu stacks. Transform your restaurant from a small operation into a massive, high-volume establishment.

• Endless Mode: Turn service into a roguelike gauntlet. As days pass, you are forced to draft new menu cards that clutter your rotation with extra ingredients and complex dishes. Survive as long as you can to climb the global leaderboards and prove you and your crew run the best restaurant in the world.

• Pizza Buffet Mode: Swap traditional table orders for a nonstop all-you-can-eat rush. Customers form a live self-serve line to grab clean plates, build salads at the salad bar, take hot breadsticks, and pull fresh slices straight off your pizza warmers. Keep every station stocked before the line backs up, tackle more complex pizzas as the days climb, and compete on dedicated Pizza Buffet leaderboards.

COMING POST-LAUNCH: VERSUS MODE (RED VS. BLUE)

Two kitchens share a single dining room in a head-to-head battle for profit.

• Competitive Service: Teams compete for the same pool of customers. Being faster doesn't just mean better tips—it means stealing revenue directly from your opponents. Serve tables before the other team does to secure the tab and leave them with wasted labor.

• Tactical Warfare: Spend your earnings on Sabotage Cards to disrupt the other team. Slow down their cooking times, disable their appliances, or even invade their kitchen to physically interfere with their service.
