### 3/5 — Why did you abandon us?

*2025-01-12*

Dear Developers, 
Adding back the option to purchase diner points and coins is a fantastic way to make passive income. Please read all the reviews below mine. Many people are willing to spend their money on this game, including me! Make a few updates and fixes and you can make more money while you sleep. So many of us love this game and miss features that are no longer available.

### 5/5 — One thing you should do

*2023-02-07, version 1.2.2*

Please update all of your other games pls I miss playing them the were fun and I spent a lot of money on these games.

### 4/5 — UPDATE GAME PLS!!

*2022-12-07*

I LOVE this game but it's hard to get ahead when things like getting diner points from ads doesn't work. I can literally never afford to get new waiters and it's very annoying, I'm trapped in an endless cycle of spending and wasting money and never being able to upgrade. I beg of you to please work on this game again because a lot of people like it and want to see new content! It's already almost been a decade now, where have you guys gone?  :(

Also I wish you could bring back the rest of the pretty pet games (I know it was from a different studio but you guys have the rights to the franchise now, right?) because they won't work on modern ios and I've been wanting to play them again SOOO bad 😭

Pls come back, we need more content 🥺

Please update it always glitches

### 1/5 — いまいち

*2013-06-08*

最初よくわからずやり直そうと思いアプリ削除後、再インストールしたら、購入したアイテムは消え、お金だけが削除前の金額のままでした。
結局どうすることもできなくなりプレイできません。

### 1/5 — 出来ない

*2013-06-06*

ペットサロンがすごく楽しかったので、こちらもインストールしましたが、始まって料理の仕方の説明の後にスタッフを雇う所で固まって動きません。
諦めきれずに何度かインストールとアンインストールを繰り返してみましたが、やはり同じ状態でした。

楽しそうなのでプレイしてみたかったのですが、すごく残念です。

### 2/5 — Needs to be updated

*2023-08-04, version 1.2.2*

This games been updated almost 7years ago I see why not so many people playing it. This game is
Glitching

### 2/5 — Lost Data

*2021-03-05*

I LOVED this game back in 2013. I changed my phone and forgot about this game. I recently found it and I have to RESTART all over again, which I’m not doing! :v I really hope I could at least SAVE my previous data. BUT I don’t see any buttons for that, so I’m guessing my previous data or progress was ALL LOST. If there was a facebook connect button, I would at least be able to recover my old account. BUT there is nothing like that here, so I’m really disappointed! All my effort was all lost. It took me a long time to find this game again because I downloaded too many games and I couldn’t remember this game’s name. Super sad rn.

I really hope the people that made this game can include the option to save our data to our email or something. If I made a mistake, pls do tell me and I’ll change the rating.

### 2/5 — Meh..

*2017-02-20, version 1.2.2*

I like how this game has you to cook and have little animal waiters.. but I mean after a while it gets boring
