Devlog · CHEF!

First Playable

  • A small restaurant: an entrance, four tables, a fridge, a prep counter, a grill, a pass and a dish station. Rearrange it in edit mode, press Start, and customers, servers and cooks run the whole service on their own.
  • Guests arrive, wait for a table, sit, order, eat, pay and leave, or walk out if they wait too long. There are three dishes (burger, grilled chicken and salad), each cooked through its recipe's steps.
  • The side panels show money, guests, orders, what each worker is doing and an event log. Click anyone to inspect them. Speed can be paused or set to 1x, 2x or 4x.
  • Staffing and layout both matter. Adding a second server and cook took one test run from 7 served and 17 lost to 19 served and none lost, and a scattered kitchen dropped another run to zero served.
