Community Kitchen Simulator: DayShift

Community Kitchen Simulator puts you in charge of a small neighbourhood canteen in an unnamed European city. Occasionally, you'll need to guess which country a visitor comes from by listening to their accent.

The day starts with shopping. The corner shop down the street has something different every day: some of it at full price, some at half price, some for nothing. You pay for what you buy and carry it back to the kitchen.

Then you cook, balancing taste and nutrition with the ingredients available each day.

People arrive and wait to be seated. You take each of them a plate. Most come with a meal ticket, and the town hall pays you back for every ticketed meal once you walk over to the municipal desk and ask for it. Some people turn up without a ticket. Whether they eat is up to you.

At closing time the day fits on one card: how many you fed, how many you sent away, how many ate for free, what went off, and what people actually ate in calories, protein, fat and carbs. Ingredients you didn't use stay on the shelf for tomorrow, as long as they keep.

Ingredients have weights, prices and a shelf life, food loses weight when it's peeled and cooked, and every serving carries its own nutrition.

First person, in a kitchen you actually walk around

Shop, carry it back, cook, serve, wash up

Meal tickets, a town hall that pays up when you go and ask, and free meals that are your call

Real weights, prices and nutrition, down to the single serving

Keeps going day after day, and saves where you left off
