Restaurant Empire

Genre: simulator
Publisher: Akella / Phantagram Interactive
Developer: Enlight Software


The game that takes the art of cooking and running a restaurant to new heights, Restaurant Empire is a gastronome's dream-come-true! Starting with nothing except some cash and a passion for food, you start by building a restaurant from the bottom up - hiring waiters, decorating, even cooking the meals. Buy, build, outsell and under price your competition in the world's culinary capitals, all faithfully recreated in stunning 3D environments. Your goal is to build a restaurant empire catering to different tastes and budgets. This task does not come easily, however, for there are other equally enterprising opponents who also desire to become the next restaurant king. To succeed, not only will you have to run a profitable restaurant, but you will also challenge (and be challenged by) chefs in international cooking competitions, master the art of high cuisine and travel to places to obtain secret ingredients.

Will you use your culinary wizardry to out-cook challenging chefs? Will you employ economic tactics to buy out the competition? You decide. With a combination of business strategy and role-playing game styles plus an additional free-form sandbox game mode, three huge cities, and 29 playable chefs* and a host of locations to travel to, Restaurant Empire is an epicurean delight of gastronomic proportions!
