### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-02-13, version 4.0.8*

I can’t play every second ads non stop

### 1/5 — Help

*2026-01-30*

I have just recently started playing this game yet. I don’t see anything showing where you can upgrade. It just stays on the same level. Am I missing something?

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for trying Restaurant Empire 

Upgrades (such as improving kitchen equipment and unlocking new recipes) become available after completing the first tutorial steps and reaching the required level or unlocking a new area.

Once those are finished, the upgrade menu will unlock and you’ll be able to start improving your kitchen and staff.

We’d also like to let you know that a new version of the game is coming later this week, bringing many bug fixes and clearer guidance to make progression and upgrades easier to understand.

If you’re still unsure where to find upgrades, please check the upgrade icons/buttons in the kitchen UI, or feel free to contact us — we’re happy to help!

Thanks and enjoy building your restaurant empire!

### 1/5 — Loading

*2025-05-07*

Doesn't load all the way. Just music is playing

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you for reporting this issue. The loading problem was related to an older version of the game and has since been fixed in recent updates.

Please make sure to download the latest version from the App Store for a smooth experience.

We appreciate your patience and hope you’ll give the game another try!

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2025-03-30, version 1.6.0*

Shame it won’t load looks like a great game

### 2/5 — SO MANY ADS

*2026-02-13*

I get that you need ads to operate but I keep getting an ad every 3 seconds.  I’ve tried to force quit the ad and reopen it and it goes straight back to the ads. Yes there is an ad free version, but that’s $7. A little pricey for a game. Also it’s pretty buggy.

**Developer response:** Hi Bridgett,

Thank you for your honest feedback. We completely understand how frustrating that experience must have been.

We’ve recently released a major update that significantly reduces ads and improves overall stability. The excessive ad frequency and reported bugs have been addressed.

We truly appreciate you giving the game a try, and we hope you’ll consider updating to the latest version for a much smoother experience.

### 3/5 — Paid for no ads yet I am still getting them

*2026-06-20*

I paid for the no ads because I was really enjoying the game but, I’m still getting ads and I paid for it yesterday. I will update my review once the no ads that I paid for are applied!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. We want to resolve this for you immediately!

Please contact our support team directly through our support form in the game settings and we will do our best to solve this issue as quickly as possible. We want to ensure you can get back to enjoying the game without ads!

Best regards

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2025-02-06*

I like the game but the waiter gets stuck.  Fix it and I may even consider buying the ad free package.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you like the game. We're working on fixing the issue with the waiter getting stuck.

### 4/5 — Waiter constantly gets stuck

*2025-02-06, version 0.9*

I have opened, closed and uninstalled the app but still the waiter gets stuck
