Play as Lorenzo at the start of his chef career, working in an Italian restaurant. Customers and story characters bring a crime-themed thread to the restaurant setting.
Typing drives the game: enter orders, prepare and serve dishes, navigate menus, and choose dialogue. Different customers and dishes call for different inputs.
Keep up as orders compete for attention and customers' patience runs down. Prioritize tasks while dealing with distractions such as rat invasions and unruly customers; the shifts grow more challenging.
Players often enjoy the unusual blend of typing and restaurant service, especially the pressure of managing orders while practicing keyboard skills. Reviews also praise the humorous story and characters, while some find the typing demands difficult and wish the first installment offered more content.
