“Chi lavora mangia. Chi non lavora, mangia, beve e dorme…”

(translation: Those who work eat. Those who do not work, eat, drink and sleep…)

“Chef is a restaurant tycoon game; one in which we decided to give the players the possibility of creating their own Chef; and living their own personal stories; without forgetting about all the management mechanics that makes a great tycoon game. It has all the depth of a tycoon game; but also it allows players to live their own story through the eyes of their own avatar.” 

– Nathan Piperno, Lead Designer, Inner Void Interactive

Features:

  • Create your own avatar and level them up across 6 different skill trees; with more than 100 abilities to choose from.
  • Full restaurant management: Create the restaurant’s location and layout, hire the staff, design the menu, and determine the restaurant’s policies.
  • Customize every aspect of your restaurants: Choose from over 150 different variations for floors and walls; and over 200 appliances and decorations that can be individually placed and colored.
  • Experiment with a realistic recipe editor: Use the skills and ingredients at your disposal to create one-of-a-kind dishes; that are accurately rated by taste and aroma.
  • Choose your own cooking style: Specialize in meat or seafood, go vegetarian or vegan; or offer a vast selection of spicy or exotic dishes. The choice is yours and the world will react to it accordingly.
