Kitchen Confidence

About This Game

Kitchen Confidence is a fast-paced restaurant management game grounded in real-world experience in the food-service industry. Enjoy the best of both worlds – short bursts of exhilarating action during rushhours, combined with the long-term planning and strategy of a management game.

Assume the role of a restaurant business veteran who will be helping underperforming restaurants increase their efficiency and ultimately save their business.

Story mode will introduce a ton of colorful characters throughout the restaurant industry. When the player is ready to open their own restaurant, a team can be assembled to provide support.

Each of these characters has their personality, so there may be some hiccups along the way, but even if it’s not necessarily the best crew, they’re your crew!

It’s up to the player to optimize and make the most of the restaurant. Decide the opening hours and the workers’ timetables and hire new workers when needed!

Each worker has their strengths and abilities. Balance the worker’s strong points and try not to get them too stressed, You never know what will happen!

Every worker possesses unique statistics: stamina, stress tolerance, and speed along with individual traits that set them apart from one another.

The heat often rises in the kitchen. When there is suddenly an influx of customers and the job list just keeps on getting longer, it will take its toll on the crew.

Stress effects are events that can affect the stressed-out crew member positively or negatively. Some chefs will thrive in stressful environments others crumble.

At the start, players will engage with pre-existing menus. As they delve deeper into the game, they will have more creative freedom, although Story Characters will still offer suggestions for menu ideas.

Designing a menu will be important as it will affect the type of customers that are interested in the restaurant and the costs. High-quality ingredients are expensive and they will spoil over time…

Well-done preparations are the key to balancing the workload of the kitchen between slow and busy hours. Mise en place means exactly that, preparations. Preparing the needed ingredients beforehand will help make the dishes faster and the work less stressful for the crew.

The amount to prepare beforehand is left for players to determine!

Planning expenses and profits are important. There are many tools for the player to manage the flow of money like managing the staff and making sure nothing is wasted!

The player can order ingredients and establish prices. Top-quality ingredients and a good reputation will help to entice the customers! Every wholesaler operates with slight variations that cater to different play styles.
