Cook fast, serve happy guests and grow a cozy restaurant that sounds as good as it looks. Restaurant Rush is a time-management cooking game built audio-first: it is fully playable with VoiceOver, so blind and sighted players share the same kitchen. Take orders, work the grill, the toaster and the counter, and keep the line moving before patience runs out. Play a diner story, build a career in a burger, pizza or sushi kitchen, or push an endless shift as far as it will go. WAYS TO PLAY • Classic: a diner story told in chapters. Earn stars on every shift and grow your restaurant. • Endless: shift after shift, you draft a card each round - boosts, curse days and boss shifts. Chase the weekly and monthly leaderboards and climb the leagues. • Career: full cooking stories with their own characters and spoken customer orders. Run a Burger diner for 50 days, then cook Pizza or Sushi, in story or Endless. Open them with Coins. • Street Vendors: drive the Scoop Truck (ice cream), the Spit Stand (döner) or the Crêpe Cart. Each has 20 levels, an Endless mode and a Garage for horns, start-up sounds and tunes. • Teams: create or join a team, help your teammates, open the weekly chest, level up together, chat, and pick a team anthem, emblem and colour. Team standings show how you rank. • Season Pass with 30 tiers of rewards, and the Season Shelf with limited items. MADE TO BE HEARD • Fully playable with VoiceOver: tables, the tray and the door queue are buttons, and the game announces new guests, orders and warnings. • Spoken orders, clear audio cues and haptics tell you what is happening without looking at the screen. • Choose your pace: Relaxed, Very relaxed or Custom. Guests wait longer; orders, money and cooking stay the same. • Menus that work well with a screen reader. • Every accessibility feature is part of the game for every player. MAKE IT YOURS • Restaurant Studio for decor, Chef Studio for outfits and Music Studio with classical tracks. • Cat Corner with Holosko and Sabri, plus pets: Pasha the dog and Limon the budgie, with costumes and voices. • A Guest Book of your regulars, daily login rewards and daily missions. Available in 11 languages. Tie your apron: your first guests are already waiting.
