Your shop. Your kitchen. Every single order cooked by your own hands.

Chef Boss Simulator is a cozy, chaotic, first-person cooking simulator where you run the counter yourself and build the shop up around you. Take the order, grill it, fry it, stack it on the plate, load the tray, hand it over in person, take the money and scrub the dishes before the next guest walks in. Hot dogs with ketchup, mustard and mayo, cheeseburgers, fries, nuggets, cheese balls and ice cold sodas, all made to order.

Cook it. Do not burn it.

Everything on the grill and in the fryer goes from raw to cooked to burnt, and it will not wait for you. Sausages, beef and chicken patties, fries, nuggets and cheese balls each have their own window. Miss it and you are scraping a black puck into the bin, unless the Fire Fighter ability is charged and ready.

Grow your kitchen

• Buy new stations: earn it on the floor, then bring in new counters and cooking stations and put them exactly where you want them.

• Unlock new dishes: every new station opens up food you could not make before, and the better the dish, the more it sells for.

• Expand the shop: push the walls out, make room for more seats and turn a cramped counter into a proper little restaurant.

• Upgrade the chef: the takings go straight back into speed, capacity and abilities, so the same rush gets easier every day.

Design your shop

• Place tables on a grid: drop tables and seating wherever you like, snap them into place and lay the floor out the way you want your guests to move.

• Repaint everything: walls, floor and ceiling are all yours to recolour, so no two shops ever look the same.

• Add drink stands: every stand you install pulls in more guests and more money, and keeps the queue moving while you cook.

Hire a crew, keep the apron

As the shop grows you can hire staff to work the floor with you. They fill the drinks, clear the empties off the tables and wash up at the sink so you never run out of clean plates. The cooking, though, is never handed over. You are the chef, on every single order, from the first day to the last. That part stays yours.

Know your guests

Normal, impatient, VIP and relaxed guests wait differently and tip differently, and the busier the day, the less patience walks through the door. Learn who to serve first, and who can wait.

The shift, start to finish

Ingredients, grill and fryer, plating in the exact order the guest asked for, tray, service, payment, dishes, and an end of day report with a star rating. Tips for speed, penalties when a guest walks out, and every wasted plate comes out of your own pocket. Then the doors open again, and the day gets busier.

Single player. Full keyboard and controller support. Just you, the grill, and a queue that will not stop growing.
