You take charge of a struggling restaurant and work to raise its rating from one star to five. Each workday puts you in the kitchen serving customers while balancing the demands of running the business.
Orders call for specific ingredient combinations, entered with quick, accurate key presses. As customers arrive, you also handle tasks such as washing dishes, taking out trash, dealing with rats, and pouring beer; weather can affect which menu items are popular.
Choose foods for your daily menu and spend earnings on equipment and food upgrades. Upgraded dishes can add ingredients, raise their prices, and increase the preparation challenge. The game also offers local modes including a two-player campaign, four-player tag-team and endurance modes, and strike challenges.
Players often enjoy the fast, demanding recipe-input gameplay, especially the satisfaction of getting into a rhythm and improving at complex orders. Reviews also praise its addictive rush-hour pace and, for some, the choices involved in planning menus. Others find the same pressure stressful and the repeated service loop tiring.
Your journey to culinary greatness begins today. Take your restaurant from a lowly 1-star eatery cooking corndogs to a luxury 5-star establishment serving delicious steaks.
Throughout your journey, you'll improve your restaurant with new equipment, food upgrades, and more.
In Cook, Serve, Delicious you can cook 30 different foods. Upgrade individual foods to add new ingredients, increase menu prices, and up the difficulty.
Meanwhile, dynamic events such as weather will impact the popularity of your menu and encourage you to keep things fresh!
Cook, Serve, Delicious comes packed with a multitude of local multiplayer modes!
Co-Op Campaign: Play through the entire campaign with a friend. One plays as the expediter who sends orders to the Chef, while the other cooks orders given to them.
Tag-Team Local Multiplayer: Grab up to four controllers as you take turns manning the chef station in the Battle Kitchen. You only have fifteen seconds to cook, and five seconds to explain to the next cook what to do first!
Endurance Mode: Tag team with up to four players to make as many foods perfectly as possible.
Strike Challenges: Take on 12 new challenges alone, or with up to four players.
Cook, Serve, Delicious includes two huge expansion packs! Battle Kitchen Edition introduces new modes and 25 playable cameo characters from other indie games. Meanwhile, Extra Crispy Edition adds 10 new foods to the base game.
