### 3/5 — Some unrealistic problems

*2025-06-10*

Soo i really love this game, it reminds me of my childhood so much. But now that I’m older, I’ve noticed some unrealistic mistakes in the game. Why is it that my target is 16 people, I serve 16 people but 15 unsatisfied.. and it doesn’t count? I’m still serving them, they’re still accepting it! It should count!!! This game is supposed to relax you, not have your fingers burning across the screen trying to get an unrealistic target!

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2025-04-22*

I have been playing this game for a couple of years now. But you should have added more levels by now. No improvements on this game. No bonuses no gifts no way to improve the cook no clothes to change her in and out of. No helper. You should really update this game and make it even better and funnier to play
