Habibi's Kitchen
Read full descriptionHide full description
Build the coziest little restaurant in town ā then find out whether you can keep up when it fills. Habibi's Kitchen is a low-poly restaurant management sim. You lay out the floor, buy the appliances, hire the staff and set the prices. Then the doors open, and the day runs itself whether you're ready or not. ONE DAY AT A TIME Every shift runs 8:00 to 22:00. Customers arrive, take a table, order, and wait ā and they do not wait forever. Serve them quickly and they tip and come back. Leave them staring at an empty table and they walk, and your reputation goes with them. The rush comes at lunch, and again at dinner, and it does not care whether your chef is still learning. FIFTY DISHES You start with seven. The other forty-three unlock through profit and career level. Each needs the right appliance ā a stove, a grill, an oven ā and a chef good enough not to burn it. Fries and burgers to begin with; shawarma, kebab, pizza and cake once you have earned them. A KITCHEN THAT GROWS Start small and cramped. Expand the floor, add stations, and move up through better venues as your name spreads. Hire chefs and waiters, watch them level up, and turn your best staff into masters who can hold a station on their own. PICK YOUR PRESSURE ⢠Easy ā patient customers, cheap stock, gentle rushes. Start with 1,500 coins. ⢠Normal ā profitable if you play well, punishing if you nap through lunch. Start with 1,000 coins. ⢠Hard ā impatient crowds, pricier ingredients, hotter burn rolls. Start with 200 coins. RUN THE NUMBERS Wages come out every day. So does rent. Ingredients cost money before a single plate is sold. The end-of-day report tells you what you actually made, and whether that new oven was worth it. COMPETE IF YOU WANT TO A weekly challenge gives everyone the same fixed day ā same customers, same luck ā and puts the results on one board. Or ignore it entirely and just run your own place. PLAYS ANYWHERE The whole game works offline. No account, no sign-up, nothing to connect. Start playing the moment it opens, on a plane or underground, and your restaurant is saved on your device. FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT IT No ads. No energy timers. No pay-to-win. Every dish, every venue and every difficulty is in the game from the start.

Take over a family restaurant on Clement Street and turn a struggling noodle shop into a fast-moving malatang counter.
