The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing after every level. While some players acknowledge the necessity of ads in free games, many express frustration over the frequency and length of these ads, which detracts from the overall gaming experience. Additionally, there are complaints about forced ads for in-game purchases and the lack of effective options to reduce or eliminate ads, leading some players to consider uninstalling the game.
- “Hello, the game is fun and paying for no ads improves the experience.”
- “There are many opportunities to gain coins and diamonds and I have not had to spend money on in-app purchases yet.”
- “Wow, this game is so good! It has beautiful colors and the best thing is there are no ads. You must try this game; you will love it!”
- “It's a fun game, but the ads are all 30 seconds long (not 5 seconds as stated in the fake reviews below). I spent so much time watching ads just to get from one completed level to the next that I feel you guys should be paying me!”
- “The game is fun; however, between the ads popping up for packages to buy and subscriptions, and the forced ads, I feel like I've spent more time getting to a level than is necessary.”
- “I understand the need for ads to keep it free, but this is too much.”

- “The graphics are cute and attractive... so much so, that you want to keep challenging yourself to pursue more levels... it's fun and addictive!”
- “It's a great game but it doesn't have any of the graphics that are shown in the ads. That's a bummer because I was expecting to play a game where someone actually drives up to the window and I use a cash register, but when I go to the game, it's nothing like that at all.”
- “Inappropriate graphics.”
- “This kind of cooking game is addicting, but I don't like when they add the time clock and start putting a lot of people on the cook to make the cook move faster.”

- “The game freezes during levels, and also this game starts free, but as you progress in levels, it becomes impossible to win unless you spend money.”
- “This was fun at the beginning, but it always freezes and you can't finish levels. Instead of having issues, you lose any props you are using, and you can't finish levels.”

- “I love this place, story and game!”
- “I'm giving this app four stars because it is a fun game to play; however, it cheated me because now I have to unlock the donut shop again when I had already completed all of those missions. I had a whole bunch of coins and diamonds, but now they're gone, and the donut shop is locked.”
- “Go easy on us for the first two restaurants, and then once you're hooked, they will push those booster shots and diamond sales. There's never a decent cooking game... my quest continues.”

Players express frustration with the game's replayability due to overly challenging levels, particularly in the Germany stage, which can hinder progress and lead to uninstallation. Many hope for updates to make these levels more accessible, as the current difficulty discourages continued play.

- “It just keeps telling me to go back to the map to find more playable levels.”

The gameplay is criticized for being frustratingly difficult and heavily reliant on ads and in-game purchases, making it feel rigged and unfair. Players find the time constraints unreasonable and the overall experience confusing, leading to a negative impression of the game's design and mechanics.
- “I can't believe this game is so low-quality, like a typical mobile game where you're either forced to watch annoying ads or buy unnecessary boosters with diamonds to complete blatantly rigged levels with impossible requirements to pass through normal gameplay.”
- “It's such a confusing game. I am on level 30, and it's horrible. Given only 75 seconds of playing time, with 50 seconds wasted, the increasing speed of incoming obstacles is unreasonable. After 2 hours of gameplay, I received 300 diamonds but lost 30 seconds. This is not a game for passing time or for kids; it's frustratingly difficult.”
- “The gameplay is frustratingly unbalanced, making it feel more like a chore than a fun experience. The levels are designed in a way that seems to prioritize monetization over enjoyment.”
