About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Build, cook, and run your restaurant with your own two hands!

In Tasty Chef, you are both the restaurant owner and a hands-on member of the team. Design work areas, purchase ingredients, manage storage, prepare dishes step by step, and serve customers before the orders pile up!

Every part of the restaurant is up to you. Expand your space, freely place cooking equipment, storage units, and workstations, improve your kitchen flow, and build a restaurant that runs efficiently.

Design Your Own Menu

Unlock new recipes, choose which dishes to serve each day, disable recipes you do not want to make, and customize flavors to create a menu that matches your restaurant’s style.

Each item has its own unique preparation process. Prepare ingredients, use different equipment, complete every cooking step, and finally serve the finished food or drink to waiting customers.

Build a Reliable Staff Team

Running a restaurant does not mean doing everything yourself. You can hire NPC employees to help with all kinds of tasks the player can perform, including taking orders, preparing ingredients, cooking, serving, restocking, and organizing supplies.

Build a team that can keep the restaurant running on its own, so you can focus on growing the business. When the rush hour hits, you can always jump back into the kitchen and help out yourself.

Experience Different Types of Restaurants

The launch version includes the bubble tea shop and sushi restaurant. Start with a cozy bubble tea shop and unlock the sushi restaurant as you progress. Each restaurant features its own recipes, equipment, preparation processes, and management mechanics.

Planned update: The bakery is not available in the launch version and is planned for an update in October 2026.

The bubble tea shop focuses on drink preparation and flavor customization, while the sushi restaurant introduces completely different systems such as conveyor belt sushi. You will need to redesign your space and build a workflow that fits each restaurant’s unique style.

There are no traditional fixed levels. Each restaurant is a business you can continue to expand, optimize, and personalize.

Run the Restaurant Alone or With Friends

Manage the entire restaurant by yourself, rely on NPC employees for support, or play together with friends. Divide tasks, cooperate efficiently, and keep every area of the restaurant running smoothly.

Whether you enjoy hands-on cooking, planning efficient workflows, managing inventory, or training a reliable staff team, Tasty Chef lets you build your ideal restaurant in your own way.
