You take over a neglected space and turn it into a café or restaurant. Clean up rubbish, make repairs, choose surface finishes, arrange furniture, and install kitchen equipment.
Prepare the business for customers by adding dishes to the menu and buying ingredients. Run the café by taking orders, serving customers, and keeping supplies and equipment in order; hire staff to handle jobs such as cooking, waiting tables, and working the register.
Manage wages, staff motivation, bills, advertising, and other daily responsibilities as the business develops. Earn experience to unlock furniture, equipment, dishes, and other features, and use your income to open additional areas. Email contracts also offer renovation work at other cafés.
Reviewers who enjoy the game often point to its hands-on café renovation and customization, with some appreciating the relaxed pace and the satisfaction of shaping a space. Others say that the appeal fades as routine chores repeat, and frequently raise concerns about bugs, slow or uneven progression, and technical performance.
We were inspired by sandbox and simulation games, where players can create something of their own, set up processes, develop their creation, put their soul into it and show their creativity. In Cafe Owner Simulator you have such an opportunity, our goal is to give the world a game - in which everyone can realize his dream and open his own restaurant business.
Cleaning and Restoration.
When you buy a room for your own restaurant - you will need to free it from trash and make major repairs, it is not an easy task, but what can be better than to clean up the future of a successful restaurant or cafe?
Covering Surfaces.
After cleaning and repairing - you will have to choose the best wallpaper, carpet or coverings of different materials, this is where your design will begin.
Kitchen and equipment.
So how do you do without kitchen equipment? Decide on the type of your future establishment and buy all the necessary equipment for it. Also, do not forget to connect it to the outlets.
Menu and products
To open a place - you need to add a minimum of 5 dishes to the menu.
To prepare these dishes - you'll need products, you can buy them at the grocery store.
Management and employees
The game has a job market. To hire a staff member, pay a headhunter and he will find a marketable staff member for you. Every worker has his own characteristics, so choose the best ones.
The higher the characteristics - the higher the salary the worker wants. Over time, the motivation to work decreases - pay bonuses or hire new workers, here the choice is yours.
Development of the restaurant, levels
For performing various actions in the game - you earn experience points.
When you reach a certain limit - the level grows and you get a lot of opportunities:
new furniture and equipment to set up, new dishes on the menu, new features on your tablet, cash rewards and more.
Restaurant expansion and new features
Earning money - you will be able to open new areas of your cafe to make all your design ideas come true. In the future it will be possible to build a hotel near the restaurant and create a square for recreation and entertainment of visitors.
Duties of a restaurant owner
Like any owner or manager of a restaurant business - there is a lot of work and daily tasks waiting for you. Paying bills, managing employees, ordering food, checking the condition of the equipment and its repair, controlling various pests and cleaning the premises, working at the cash register and at the cafe counter (until you hire employees for this), passing inspections by the fire inspector, setting up and ordering advertising, marketing, if necessary you can take a loan from the bank, but it is better to pay back in time, otherwise there will be problems, and much more.
