The game uses a level system, each level has a task that the player must complete, only after successfully completing the task, you can pass the level and move on to the next level. Most of the level tasks are to earn the number of gold coins or serve the number of customers, etc.

Players will face a steady stream of customers in the game, each customer's needs will be displayed next to the character, and there is a waiting countdown, players must provide food to customers before the countdown is completed, otherwise they will be very angry, affecting your level score. Each food has a certain order of operation, the player must strictly follow the production order, or you can not provide food. Some food requires only one simple step, while game food requires three or four steps to complete. When there are more customers, you may have your hands full and cause the order not to be completed. Some of the food also has a countdown to keep track of when it is made, and players will take the food out at the end of the countdown.

For each successfully completed order, players will earn gold from customers, and when the gold reaches a certain amount, it can be used to upgrade the restaurant and buy new kitchenware. Replacing old kitchenware can help you complete orders faster and better. Upgrade the decoration of your restaurant to attract more customers.

As the game progresses, the player has to face more customers and more orders, which is very challenging for the player's time management ability. When players successfully pass a level, they can open a new cookware in the next level for making new food.
