“A unique take on the diner management genre, this game not only delivers dozens of hours of frantic food assembly, but also provides an enthralling and emotional story.”
“There's so much heart behind the story and characters too.”

The gameplay is described as addictive and satisfying, with a mix of new mechanics and familiar elements from the first game, enhancing the overall experience. Players appreciate the seamless transitions between meal types and the variety of tasks, although some find the new mechanics can be frustrating. The vibrant art style and catchy soundtrack complement the fast-paced, strategic gameplay, making it enjoyable for fans of time management games.
“This game only improves upon the mechanics the first game established, and it is very addicting to play.”
“It can take a bit to adjust to the gameplay and new mechanics that come into play along the line, but once they click, it's incredibly satisfying to whisk through orders and perfect levels, and the art style and music are beautifully upbeat and colorful, not to mention a lot of the food looks pretty damn tasty.”
“The gameplay is seamless and addictive (in a good way!), with quirky characters and a charming lore.”
“What initially put me off, and what I thought I'd hate, is the 'food on conveyor belt' mechanic, and I certainly dislike it compared to other time management games like Chloe's Dream Resort or Chef Rescue (where the food is stationary and you play a character going around organizing, gathering, and delivering items). I feel those are far superior games.”
“But this one has introduced new mechanics that make it more frustrating than anything.”
“- very high-paced gameplay mixed with visuals that are somewhat cartoony in looks.”
