How it plays
Five steps, in the order the game teaches them to you.
-
Pick your menu
Open the recipe menu and pick the dishes you serve: starter, main, dessert or drink. Each recipe uses ingredients from your pantry.
-
Hire your staff
In the Job Center you hire cooks and waiters. Without a cook and a waiter the restaurant stays closed.
-
Serve and get paid
Customers arrive, sit down, order, eat and pay. Every dish you serve earns you coins and gourmet points.
-
Decorate your place
With your coins you buy tables, chairs, stoves and decorations. The more room and tables, the more customers at once.
-
Visit your neighbours
On the friends street you see other players' restaurants and walk in to visit them; every visit gives you a reward.
Level up
You level up with the gourmet points you earn serving dishes, buying items and learning recipes. There are 65 levels: each one brings more employees, more dishes on the menu and a bigger restaurant. These are some of the steps:
- 50 ptsLv 1
- 500 ptsLv 5
- 8000 ptsLv 10
- 86 k ptsLv 20
- 370 k ptsLv 30
- 1.2 M ptsLv 40
- 2.1 M ptsLv 50
- 3.7 M ptsLv 65
A real game
This is the game as it looks: you pick dishes by type (starter, main, dessert or drink) and see the ingredients in your pantry, with their rarity in stars.
The server checks what you see: prices, rewards and timings are the same for every player.

It is an independent server with its own accounts. The server decides prices, rewards and timings and saves your progress, so your restaurant is the same in any browser.
