Skip it if you…

Our take on TasteMaker
The bounce point arrives when several systems must be managed together: staff priorities, menu pricing, cleanliness, waiting times, restrooms, and food quality. Players looking mainly for decoration may hit that wall once customer satisfaction and profit determine whether expansion is possible.
What is TasteMaker?
TasteMaker is a restaurant tycoon game about building and operating a restaurant.
Players begin with a small plot, construct the venue, choose its decoration, and create a menu with suitable dishes and prices. The management system covers hiring employees, assigning priorities, serving customers, providing restrooms, maintaining food quality, and keeping the restaurant clean to prevent rats. Profits can fund additional land and expansion. Customer satisfaction depends on waiting times, facilities, food, and other needs. The game includes six scenarios, each presenting a different restaurant challenge.
