Game overview

Cooking Mania Express is a restaurant time-management game where the queue never really stops. Orders arrive, dishes need preparing in stages, and serving one customer while another burns is the balance the whole game is built on. Earnings go back into growing the business, so the sequencing you choose in a busy shift compounds into how fast the restaurant develops.

This title is best suited to players who like time-management cooking under real pressure.
