Our take on Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator
Its defining structure combines hands-on cooking during each service with the surrounding work of running a restaurant, from purchasing ingredients and arranging staff to forecasting demand and developing the menu.
What is Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator?
Run a restaurant by customising kitchen components, choosing décor, organising the team, purchasing ingredients, and managing suppliers.
Track finances and predict customer demand before each service. Create menus from classic French, Italian, and international dishes, then improve recipes and adapt selections to the seasons and customer expectations. During service, handle preparation tasks such as chopping, grilling, baking, and mixing, while coordinating the team through cooking and plating.
