Our take on Hot Plates
The defining structure is customer-specific cooking: meals must be adjusted for alien races according to preferences such as spice level and meat texture, with cooking conditions and skill affecting the result.
What is Hot Plates?
Run a restaurant in a future space setting by preparing meals for customers from different alien races.
Cooking involves selecting and changing ingredients, managing heat, and applying skill to affect meal quality and customer preference. Discover recipes, purchase ingredients and machines, and expand the kitchen as the restaurant develops. Growing vegetables and breeding animals provide additional food sources. Customer satisfaction generates money for further purchases, while careful organization supports service for increasingly demanding guests. The progression goal is to build a ten-star restaurant and serve the most prestigious races in space.
