### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-01-27, version 1.085*

Keeps crashing affter intro demo. Would have loved to have played it; looked good.t

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-01-15, version 1.085*

Started out fun but, at level 29, there are NO customers coming in. After I've put a fair amount of money into it, it's now worthless. I cant even play it.

### 3/5 — Fun but too many bugs

*2025-10-26, version 1.085*

I am frustrated because this game is actually so fun and addicting, but unfortunately there are so many bugs. Sometimes they work in your favor (like immediately finishing a recipe that usually takes awhile), but more often then not, the bugs screw up recipes and make you pay to redo them, or if yo move furniture it deletes all your food. I bought walls and they keep disappearing. Plus, it takes so much money to buy groceries for your recipes that making money is quite difficult. I swear some recipes cost more to make than its worth to serve!

### 5/5 — fire

*2025-04-17*

Fire game but dont sell ur dishwasher gift for profit. Trust me

### 1/5 — Bypass this game --DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2025-02-24, version 1.080*

don't waste your time. the recipe shows the expected return on the menu. However, the system does not provide us with that amount of money. If it did, we would be able to play the game well. However, due to either ERROR IN CODE or SCAM ...this game does not function properly.

### 2/5 — would be great

*2025-01-20, version 1.075*

this is a fun gme but its unbalanced.  Either they are making it so you have to spend money to play or thees a bug.

you have to hire a server to make money when off line but its 2000 gold.  you make like 10-50 gold when you sell an entire recipe.  

they sit people at tables that want food you don't hve and they stay a while taking up space.

the machines break often.  My coffee machine has broken every 2 or 3 recipes and its 50 gold to fix which I am not making in between breaks.

The mechanics ae fun but you can't make actual progress.

edit: I am lowering my score as it is so frsutrating.  I had to spend 150 coins becuase my dishwasher broke bakc to back to back.  This would be my favorite game if they fixed this insanity. My coffee machine breaks every 3 turns.  you can only make so much money and it costs more to fix it.  There is no making prgreas.  The worst part is this game would be epic

### 2/5 — Meh

*2024-06-29, version 1.068*

This would be so much better if i didnt have to pay to play. Without buying the in-game currency its almost impossible to do even moderatly well in this game. everything is overpriced that you have to buy and you barely make any profit because all of the appliences break all the time. If the ratio of money spent vs money gained was better, this game would have at least 4 stars.

### 1/5 — Not Play Tested

*2024-06-21, version 1.068*

The gameplay is fundamentally flawed as there will be customers that will come in asking for food that you don’t have which makes no sense to do and only adds an unnecessary hurdle. It’s a copycat from restaurant story but which is what I am looking for but they failed still.

### 1/5 — it made my computer go laggy i think it hacks

*2024-05-30*

dont get it
