Great financial management elements and the custom-recipe driven menu gameplay really works. Big performance improvements from the recent patch. Top tier restaurant sim.

Fun relaxing little game. The food creation part is very extensive, but don't expect the management aspect of the game to be very deep. You hire cooks and waiters, who can level their skills and then you have to find the balance to either pay them more money to restore their stamina after a work day, or hire more staff so they don't need to spend so much stamina in the first place. You add the recipes you made (or some premade ones if you like) to the menu, can decorate your restaurant and have several ways to increase the amount of customers to get in. The real fun of the game is in creating recipes and finding flavours that go well together, and deciding what kind of restaurant you like to make. The game doesn't force you to make a specific type (although you do get a few bonuses by picking one of the preset specializations), so you get to do what you find fun. The artstyle is cute. Even though the game has a few little bugs that will likely not get fixed anymore, I have not encountered anything game breaking and I have an ongoing playthrough that I keep coming back to in between other games, where I slowly build out my restaurant empire. If they ever make a sequel where they deepen out the management part of the game, it'll be an insta buy from me.

I love the complexity of this game! It allows a lot of creative freedom in creating your own recipes. I'll admit every restaurant Ive had thus far has busted, but its so fun to take what you learn and apply it to the next place! Was looking for a game that scratched my Chefville itch from the days of FB gaming, and this has come the closest so far!
