Good enough for its current sale price (3€) and also a decent modern take on the classic Restaurant Empire series.

Fun game but it has worse mechanics than the now 20-year old restaurant empire. Not saying the devs should copy and paste from that game, but I think taking a few mechanics from that and improving upon them would go a long way. Just my opinion...

It took me a while to get used to the game, but then I enjoyed it. It's quite heavy on management, so don't expect a casual cooking simulator.

The best restaurant management game I've played, hands down. I'm terrible at it. 10/10.

Good, gets boring after awhile of doing the same thing but has a fair amount of fun play time.
