Our take on Cooking Festival
The defining structure is timed multitasking: dishes must be prepared across several cooking stations and served before waiting customers leave, while burned food is discarded.
What is Cooking Festival?
Cooking Festival is a point-and-click restaurant management game built around timed food service.
Prepare dishes by baking, frying, or grilling ingredients, then serve customers before their patience runs out. Multiple cooking stations can operate at once, while burned meals must be discarded. Kitchen upgrades increase efficiency as the restaurant progresses. The game includes five worlds, each with four restaurants, and 480 levels in total. Additional buildings, characters, ingredients, dishes, festivals, landmarks, and special customers appear across progression. Special customers include a festival dragon, a bear, and Lava Lady. Serving these visitors well can earn a special boost.
