Cook, Serve, Delicious!

Cook, Serve, Delicious! is a challenging arcade game, where the player's goal is to run and expand a catering facility. The title was developed by Vertigo Gaming, a small US company specializing in arcade games.

Mechanics

In Cook, Serve, Delicious!, the player's task is to manage a restaurant and play the role of chef, cashier and cleaner all at the same time. The adventure begins in a small gastronomic outlet, and the meals that can be served to customers are not complicated (e.g. hot dogs, chips). With the development of the company, the place becomes more elegant and the choice of dishes and customers' requirements grows.

The game combines arcade and strategic elements. In the first phase, the player makes strategic decisions - such as which meals will be sold the next day or how to improve the restaurant (you can buy various equipment, such as a dishwasher). Then comes the working day - the arcade part. The player's task is to serve customers in a fast and satisfactory way. It boils down to pressing many keys (each dish has its own combination), and failure results in the customer's dissatisfaction. The lunch period is particularly demanding when many customers appear in the restaurant at the same time (initially it is possible to serve four customers at once, then this number grows to eight). At the end of each day, financial results are summed up and the cash earned should be used for further development of the restaurant.
