  • monetization
    164 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, with players frequently required to watch them to access recipes, clarify customer orders, and reduce costs, leading to frustration and a feeling of being forced to engage with ads. While some players appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, many express dissatisfaction with the frequency and necessity of ads, which disrupt gameplay and hinder progress. Overall, the consensus is that the game could benefit from a more balanced approach to monetization, reducing the reliance on ads to enhance the player experience.

    • “I'm actually in love with this game; no ads unless you need them. However, it's also very frustrating when customers request more ingredients that are not included in their order. I've been broke so many times and had to watch an ad to continue. I couldn't even survive until day 30 without watching ads. I wish there were actual recipes so I wouldn't need to watch ads. One thing I hate is when they ask for an ingredient, and I put all but they request garlic or lettuce; I can't just guess.”
    • “Because as long as there's no ads in the middle of the games, I'm okay with it.”
    • “What I mean by 'too many ads' is that to know what they are ordering specifically, you need to watch ads first.”
    • “You need to watch ads every time you want to see the recipe to know what the customer really wants. When you forget just one ingredient, they deduct a high sum of cash, but the money you earn is so little. Please fix it so that when they order, they will just have to say the specific food and ingredients, so that we will not have a hard time with this.”
    • “I understand that ads are needed for the developers to make a profit, but it is unfair for the player to have negative results in their in-game profit if they're perfect with the food orders for the day.”
    • “This game is very good, but the fact that I have to watch ads just to know about customers' orders is pretty annoying.”

    • “1.) You have to watch ads when you have to ask customers more about their order. 2.) You also have to watch ads to check the recipe guide for the dishes, which annoys me. 3.) The soy sauce's color disappears after using it for 1-2 times; please fix this because it affects our gameplay.”
    • “I understand that ads are the main source of profit for mobile games, but to put them between gameplay (just popping up out of nowhere) is outrageous, especially if the ads open another app.”
    • “The game is fun, but it feels like I've been watching ads longer than playing the actual gameplay.”
