The game turned out to be a recipe for disaster but for the devs, and the studio's last project. Too bad, Rest in Peace Drapper Penguin Studios.

It's a tough game, challenging but fun. I wish that they were still updating it.

I do enjoy this unique management game, however, there are a lot of bugs relating to the employees. There are several occasions where 1 employee does everything while everyone else stands and does nothing even when there are several tables needing food or to be served. This leads to tables leaving out of anger and losing ratings. I find that closing and reopening the game fixes it occasionally.
