Professional Chef asks you to build a restaurant empire by purchasing ingredients, cooking dishes, and selling them for profit while unlocking recipes and upgrading equipment. The game revolves around optimizing your workflow to maximize efficiency—balancing ingredient costs against dish prices while gradually expanding your menu. It appeals to players who enjoy hands-on management loops with satisfying progression systems and the appeal of watching a small operation scale into something successful.

sh1tty game from a sh1tty developer, this game lacks so many things that it should be in early access as everything stinks and i cant really see myself enjoying it, you can give it a try since its free but i doubt that you will like it, idle-incremental game with no automation whatsoever pure torture and madness. anyway whatever i gave up playing after 20 minutes so all i can give you is this negative vote and be happy about it.

I am having problems with this, I buy ingredients to cook, then although they are in my inventory they are missing in the cookbook to start cooking, I won't buy the premium until it is sorted. Otherwise it could be a good game

Super fun game. I was hoping some simulation 1st person would come up at some point, but overall I really enjoyed it

A surprise is on the way! Quick note about today's release

13 days ago
Hello everyone!Today I had a big surprise prepared for the community! Unfortunately, due to a last-minute technical issue during the Steam upload process, the new DLC was launched prematurely without the major free update that accompanies it, and I am currently having trouble uploading the update itself.In order to enjoy the new content properly, it is essential that the main update is active. I am already working to resolve this technical issue and get the download ready as soon as possible.I ask for a little patience while I sort this out on the platform. As soon as everything is fixed, I will publish the full patch notes with all the new features I have prepared.Thank you so much for your understanding and support!
