I was apprehensive at first, but I realize I really like this game once I started getting the hang of all the different tasks to complete. I have only been playing for a few days, but I really do like all the different options between characters (staff), the different areas of the restaurant, meals, different mini games to keep you even more intrigued. I will say that it seems a title unforgiving when you make a decision and you can’t come back from it without paying for it (star wise) to change something like the name of the restaurant etc, but I can understand how that’s a good technique for them to encourage people to pay real money to gain more stars because if you use just the ads to gain stars that would take a long time and it may have a limit how often we can use the ads to gain stars, I haven’t seen if that is the case yet, but you gain 10 stars per ad you watch and can trade it for valuable items such as money etc, but they seem to be pretty generous so far, but we do have to realize that they have to makeup so either we be patient and occupy ourselves in between time with other games possibly or pay to speed up the process, but to each its own preference in regards to that. The intricate details in this game is definitely amazing.

I really enjoy this game. I’ve been playing it non-stop. Most of these tycoon-type games end up forgotten about or deleted. This game is just jam packed with different tasks, aesthetics upgrades, mini games, and strategy! In terms of critiques, I think that there should be some leveling. I’ve progressed quite a lot in this game and it becoming increasingly difficult to make progress. Upgrades cost far too much, compared to the amount you are making, and with each upgrade you complete, it doesn’t raise the value of your product by very much. For example, I just purchased a menu star on my menu item for $12,500 (approx), and I only received 8 points to raise to my food score. When you are asking for me to raise my food score to 4,800 points, you can begin to understand just how time consuming this becomes. I have been trying to upgrade my store for over three (irl) days, and every time I join on, I can only upgrade about two things and then I have to wait another three hours to start again. I really enjoyed the pacing of the game earlier. I would love if this could be sorted.

EDIT: Since this last update, you can’t watch ads in exchange for diamonds anymore. They reaaaally want you to expend real life cash on this game. So for that, I am knocking down one star. The game is slowly turning into a pay to win scenario. Which baffles me because each time we watch an ad to get diamonds, the devs get money so… the idea that they delete that extra income for them in the hope that people will cave in and expend RL cash, makes no sense to me. Unless they have data that we don’t have showing them that a lot of people are sinking RL cash on this.I deleted my last review because I didn’t noticed you could hide the UI. Anyways! I love the game. I despise that after you reach silver 2 stars, the game gets considerably difficult. Every upgrade costs more and more and more (over 300,000) which makes the game a grind. We all know why this is. So you can buy microtransactions. Also I wouldn’t call this game a “game”. You hit 1-2 things and then close the game. The “game” plays itself. That’s not very entertaining now, does it? The little fish you need to upgrade dishes? Yeah, IMPOSSIBLE to get. Unless you buy them with real life money, play the lottery game which drops just 2 fish and that is if you get the fish at all. Characters don’t drop them, the create a pot creator doesn’t drop them like it does with journals to upgrade characters and getting them with points it’s expensive.

This is a great relaxing game that has super cute animations! I love the decorating function and being able to add new food items to the menu.My biggest problem with the game is how hard it tries to get you to make a purchase. I’ve only had this game downloaded for two days, and I’m already finding it hard to progress without potentially having to buy more stamina to merge new ingredients or money to purchase furniture and upgrade the dishes. I always can find a way to play these kinds of games without making a single purchase but I don’t think that’s the case with this one. It’s pretty much impossible to train the employees to improve the service rating for increasing the restaurant rating because the little manuals are really difficult to obtain and it takes forever to build up enough clovers to buy more. Because of this, the only way I can improve the service rating is hiring more staff. The downside to this is that I can barely play the game now! I have purchased most of the staff which pretty much eliminates half of the gameplay since they do it all for you. The game is becoming less fun to play since I’m not really doing anything anymore. At this rate, I may end up deleting the game if progress stops all together.
