You’d suppose given the numerous hours we have spent watching Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares that we would have picked up a factor or two about operating a profitable restaurant. Alas, it appears the one factor we have picked up is his proclivity for foul-mouthed tirades, which we found a mere couple of hours into Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator.
Our opening evening on the restaurant began nicely. We had been flipping meat, chopping greens. It was a veritable cook-fest. However we quickly misplaced observe, one dish after one other turning into inedible, barely recognisable gloop, and our prospects had been left hungry and aggravated. How do you burn a salad?
Regardless of a barely unpolished presentation, Chef Life may be fairly a little bit of enjoyable. You begin the day ordering produce and you may then prep for the night’s service if you need. You choose the dishes which might be on the menu, after which when the doorways open you get cooking.
Cooking is especially right down to time administration and a few actions utilizing the precise analogue stick. You stir by turning it in a round movement, and you’ll want to do this earlier than the stir bar fills up or the sauce will follow the pan. Equally, you’ll want to flip the steak earlier than one aspect burns, and you’ll want to get these chips out of the deep fats fryer earlier than they find yourself crispy and hole like those Nanna used to make.
Do nicely and everyone seems to be comfortable and so they may go away suggestions. You’ll be able to spend your hard-earned coin on new cooking gear, décor in your bistro, furnishings, that type of factor. As you progress, you be taught new recipes, and you may add new thrives to outdated ones. Finally you get extra cooks you possibly can lead that can assist you out. And should you’re actually struggling there’s choices to decrease the issue considerably, which makes the sport fairly chilled out if that is extra your factor.
