It was just 2 customers remaining and it froze. It is an interesting game, but I will give only 3 stars because of that problem. I also had to delete it and start from the beginning, very tiring.”
- “Great game, I like it a lot, but it freezes so much, or gets stuck where your customers don't get a menu and can't order. There is nothing you can do, can't even restart the level or anything, nothing to do but just stop playing.”
