Gameplay
The player takes on the role of being a chef in a restaurant. The goal of the game is to serve food to customers before they get angry and leave. Players prepare the food by performing a variety of different tasks to create each stage of the dish. In each round they are given a time limit with the goal being to collect a certain amount of tips within the time allotted by getting the orders right and out on time.
The overall goal of the game's main career mode is for players to become the best chef in the city. This is achieved by working their way up to the top by passing through the game's four restaurants: The Hot Dog, Hamburger, Pizza and Mexican Restaurant. The game also features a quick-play arcade mode which also supports two player competitive play that sees players racing against each other to see who can accumulate the most tips within the time limit.
Reception
| Aggregator | Score |
|---|---|
| Metacritic | (DS) 59/100[3] (Wii) 40/100[4] |
The DS version received mixed reviews, while the Wii version received unfavorable reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3][4] Nintendo Life commented that the latter console version does have some enjoyable elements that will appeal to some gamers but said that the "streaky play control", "sharp difficulty curve" and "fairly short length" make it hard to recommend.[8] IGN believed the gameplay to be tedious, overly simplistic and repetitive, and likened it to a "freeware Flash game".[6]
