Cook Serve Delicious is a restaurant simulator where you have to handle orders, create orders and serve them to customers, while at the same time managing tasks and two rush hours each day. The game features multiple varieties of food, including Mexican, American, Asian, and Italian. Each meal requires its own preparation and creation, with “recipe cards” adding new varieties for each update. The goal of the game is to become a 5 star restaurant and make it the best!

Each order you receive requires its own prep work and some are unique and require different cook times. For example, for French fries, you’ll need to press and hold the fryer basket until smoke comes out, then place it on the plate and add salt or other ingredients if needed. Before you buy new foods, you’ll be allowed to taste them first, giving you an idea of ​​how they’re created and prepared. You can also set key bindings to prep keys before a day starts, giving you better control over each food to your liking.

Depending on how well you’ve done the food, you’ll get perfect, average, or poor performance. Each perfect performance will add to your perfect combo, and if you complete the day without a single average or poor performance grade, you will receive bonus money. Also, sometimes you will receive bets in the mail that will require you to hit a certain perfect match with certain foods, keeping you on your toes.

As you progress through Cook Serve Delicious, you’ll gain access to powerful upgrades that will make the game a little easier on you. You can buy, for example, better dishwashers, garbage disposals, safety upgrades and much more. You can even get upgrades like a “Daily Special”, make customers more patient, and much more! These are optional upgrades, but they can make the game a lot easier on you, by cutting task times in half and keeping your more patient customers, or even those health inspectors off your back for a bit! over time!

In these catering challenges, you will be tasked with creating a specific food theme and tasked with completing as many orders perfectly within the time limit.

The patience meter is much lower and the food items are updated as the challenge progresses. You are only allowed 2 wrong orders and more will disqualify you.

If you choose to go on a date, they will show up at your restaurant the next day and have a favorite meal. You will need to have the food on the menu the day they show up, otherwise they won’t show up or quote you. Completing your multiple dates with them will give you more tickets to use for random bets etc.

In general the game is quite good. If you are a fan of time management games in the sense of Diner Dash and the like, then you will find this game interesting and it does have a decent amount of time involved in it. Good play value, lots of upgrades and challenges will keep you playing for a long time and I highly recommend it!
