Equally, a popular item might sell out without you realising it, forcing you into a mad dash to cook some more prime rib before your customers leave in a huff and spread bad words about your restaurant. Of course, time will take its toll on any food, so even if you’ve got something prepared in a holding station you’ll need to keep an eye on it, and throw it away once it becomes inedible. You can only prepare certain foods here like pretzels, hot dogs, burgers things which will be popular, and won’t go bad if you leave them for too long under the heat. Holding stations are where you can pre-prepare food, and have it waiting for customers before they even arrive. However now you also have holding stations, which are a new addition and essential to the experience. You still have a number of serving stations, where customers will wait for you to take their order. Multiple customers will turn up at the same time, especially during a day’s two rush hours, so it’s all about managing your time efficiently and making sure no one has to wait too long.Ī lot of the core concepts have made it to the sequel from the original game, but thankfully it’s not just a carbon copy with a few extra recipes.
If you mess up the order, the opposite will happen. Do a good job and the customer will go away happy, and maybe they’ll spread some good word about your restaurant. You do this by seeing exactly what they want, and preparing the food by tapping out keyboard shortcuts for each item. In Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! you will be working at a restaurant, taking orders from customers, and trying to serve them as quickly as possible. Is the latest game the icing on the cake? Or have too many cooks spoiled the broth? Four years later, Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! is here, adding new mechanics, new restaurants, more exclamation marks, and even loot boxes to the mixture. Putting a lot of exclamation marks on something will generally draw your attention to it, but I didn’t need much more to entice me into playing the sequel to Cook, Serve, Delicious!, one of the more surprisingly fun games to come out in 2013.
