Game overview
Everything starts at a single street-food cart in Idle Restaurant Tale, and the climb from there is the whole game. Hire cooks, upgrade your machines, reinvest the takings, and eventually trade the sidewalk for a proper dining room. With more than a hundred levels spread across eleven cities, there is always another kitchen worth buying into.
This title is best suited to idle-game fans who enjoy steady expansion.
