Food Lift Tycoon: Idle Chef
Cooking & Restaurant Games
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Stack kitchens, run the food lift and build a tycoon empire of idle restaurants!
Build a tower of kitchens, send the dishes down with the food lift and become the richest restaurant tycoon in the world!
Food Lift Tycoon is a relaxing idle cooking game with a fresh twist: every floor of your tower is a kitchen. Chefs cook, runners stack the dishes, the lift operator carries them down and your waiters serve hungry customers in the dining room. Tap to speed everything up, hire managers to automate the work and watch the coins roll in, even while you are offline.
FROM ONE KITCHEN TO A FOOD EMPIRE
Start with a tiny ramen shop in Tokyo with a single kitchen. Upgrade your chefs, open new floors and cook more expensive dishes: ramen, bao, onigiri and many more. Every upgrade makes your restaurant earn faster, and every milestone doubles the profit of a floor.
10 RESTAURANTS AROUND THE WORLD
Ramen Ya in Tokyo, Pizza Palace in Naples, Sweet Bakery in Paris, Rocket Diner in New York, a gelato shop in Rome, Taco Loco in Mexico City, Sushi House in Kyoto, a coffee bar in Seattle, a donut shop in Chicago and the Tasty Tower in Dubai. Each one has its own look, its own dishes and its own challenges.
THE FOOD LIFT
The lift is the heart of your business. Upgrade its capacity and speed so no dish is left waiting, then hire a lift manager to keep it running all day long.
TAKEAWAY AND DELIVERY
Riders stop at your takeaway booth, grab the bags and pay extra. Upgrade from a bike to a scooter, a tuk-tuk, a van and finally a food truck, and paint them in your favorite colors.
30 STAR MANAGERS TO COLLECT
Junior, Senior, Star and Legend managers unlock as your empire grows. Each one has a permanent bonus and a special skill: cook faster, carry more dishes or get big discounts on upgrades. Put them in the right place to boost your income.
RECIPE CARDS
Open chests to collect recipe cards. Level up your recipes to make every dish worth more, in every restaurant.
RENOVATE AND GROW
When a restaurant is complete, renovate it: start again with permanent earnings multipliers and climb even higher. With ten restaurants and many renovations, there are hundreds of hours of cozy cooking fun.
ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO
- VIP customers with big tips
- Mystery gifts floating in the sky
- A lucky wheel and daily rewards
- Rush hour twice a day with double earnings
- Quests, trophies and milestones
- Offline earnings: your managers work while you rest
