Responding to requests on the fly is an interesting concept, and one that is fleshed out very well in Cook, Serve, Delicious. It's fun, and yet also quite tense - a mere second could spell the difference between serving an order and just missing it, and as you progress through the game this happens more and more often as you encounter more and more complex foods to prepare - in fact, that's my sole criticism. Some of the foods are just a little TOO complex, sometimes detracting from the experience a bit. Aside from that though, Cook, Serve, Delicious is a "delicious" little strategy-slash-management simulator which will keep you entertained for a long time.… Expand

You start out at a 0 star restaurant and have to slowly work your way up to a 5 star restaurant by purchasing upgrading foods, and serving customers day by day. It sounds simple and boring, but it's really fun and charming.
   
   Food is prepared and served by hitting the right key combination so that you get the requested ingredients right. Most foods you purchase will have several different ways of preparing them, and as you upgrade your foods, it adds even more recipes, while allowing you to charge more.
   
   In order to increase the star rating of your restaurant, you must meet a different list of requirements each time. These sometimes include some of the "side missions" such as catering, cooking shows, etc.
   
   It is difficult to explain but the structure of the game feels right. The art style is really great, the music is great... everything just fits together to make you want to keep playing. Not the most complex game ever, but totally worth its price.… Expand

   If you've ever wanted the thrill of running a restaurant, well this is a game so you're not going to get any thrills like that. However ifIf you've ever wanted the thrill of running a restaurant, well this is a game so you're not going to get any thrills like that. However if you've ever wanted the thrill of pretending you run a restarant with tasks done in the form of minigames, then there are lots of thrills to be had here.
   
   First off, you start out with 4 menu slots and enough cash to buy some stuff. You can buy a grill, a fryer, an industrial stove for making soups and stuff, etc. You also get to pick food ranging from simple to complicated, and quick to "needs lots of prep time". Food can also be upgraded to allow you more options and more money.
   
   A typical day goes like this: you choose your menu items, you start the day and people stop in and give you orders. It could be "I need a large water with flavor blast and no ice" or "one corn dog with nothing on it" or maybe even "3 meat patties, cheese bacon and tomato" or whatever. As long as you don't make any mistakes and don't take too long, the customer is happy and you get some extra "buzz" from it. Make a few mistakes and the customer walks away unsatisfied but otherwise ok (no buzz). REALLY screw things up and he gets mad and you lose buzz.
   
   Oh and while you're doing all of this, there's dishes to be done, there's trash to throw out, rat traps to reset, toilets to flush, and the occasional blog post that needs thumbing up because it could raise your buzz.
   
   The game is relatively simple, but yet it's just challenging enough to make you feel like you accomplished something when you go a full day with no bad orders, or if you made a really good streak of perfect orders. It takes some practice to get used to it, and sometimes adding a new item to the menu can throw you off your game, but you really have to keep changing up the menu to keep it fresh and interesting (both for you and for the customers in game).
   
   The game is very charming with jazzy music that plays at various times of the day, for various weather conditions, and during rush hour (among other events). The art style is kinda like a childrens book, but it doesn't detract from the game and maybe adds a little flavor to it (since the customers you get depend on how good your restaurant is).
   
   If you dislike minigames or QTE style games, you should probably pass on CSD, but if you like trying to multitask and you don't mind the physical challenge of having to hit certain keys (sometimes in a certain order) then this is worth a look. I've enjoyed CSD... maybe you will too?… Expand

   Rather hectic and fast paced restaurant management game which reminds me of when I worked in cafes and lunch bars.
   
   Dislike that there is noRather hectic and fast paced restaurant management game which reminds me of when I worked in cafes and lunch bars.
   
   Dislike that there is no option to have other staff, just 1 person, serving, cooking and cleaning.
   Bit too crazy as most places have at least 4 staff. Not just one person to do everything.
   
   As a manager I would rather not do the cleaning and pay someone to do it. Wish the game allowed you to hire staff, at least a cleaner.
   
   Dislike how I have to do iron cook show challenges to get 3 stars. Don't think I can pass it. I can't do 5 fast paced rounds and not make more than 2 mistakes.
   
   This is not a true restaurant sim as you're the only one working in a restaurant which is insane. You can't hire staff, you can't choose prices for the food.
   
   Lack of realism aside I enjoy the game mostly, it's very addictive despite being stressful, frustrating and fast paced I like the challenge up to a point.
   
   6/10. doesn't get higher as the fun eventually wears off and gets too fast, stressful, no longer fun and eventually feels worse than a real job.… Expand
