Key features

Eight-player co-op with real role division

Steam confirms up to eight players online, with the workload split across the restaurant — kitchen, bar, floor. Most cooking games cap out at four and then run out of jobs. Eight only works if there are eight things worth doing, which is why the bistro is built vertically with a terrace and rooftop: the building itself is the reason the extra players have somewhere to stand.

Expansion is the progression system

Rather than an abstract upgrade tree, you unlock new floors, areas, furniture and upgrades. This matters because it keeps the difficulty curve legible — a busier night is visibly a bigger building, so players can see what they bought. The rooftop turning into a DJ-led nightlife venue is the clearest version of this: the same staff, a different service problem.

Hands-on minigames instead of menu clicks

The store page describes interactive kitchen minigames and breakfast prep ahead of the morning rush. Sim games usually resolve cooking into a timer. Making each dish a small physical task is what keeps eight players busy simultaneously and stops the game collapsing into one person managing while the rest wait.
