What players say

Players enjoy the cooking and plating at their own pace, but many find the strict timers and slow waiters frustrating, and opinions split on whether the game is relaxing or stressful. Common complaints include few customers per shift, bugs like softlocks and pizza problems, and a slow endgame after leveling up.
