Cook Serve Delicious

The player controls the menu and running of a restaurant, with in game currency being awarded by correctly filling customer orders. The player is given money, and a choice of twenty foods to place on the menu, but this can be increased by purchasing new equipment for the kitchen. Alongside cooking, chores to keep the restaurant sanitary, such as washing dishes, throwing out the garbage, and flushing the lavatory have to be completed, each following a similar approach to complete as cooking food. Between days, the player can adjust their menu, buying new recipes, equipment or decorations with money earned. Recipe changes are necessary to keep customers coming, as serving too many fattening or boring foods at the same time will turn customers away, while serving the same foods day-in and day-out will cause them to become stale and less attractive to customers. Cook, Serve Delicious! was designed and produced by Vertigo Gaming in October 2012. Galindo had obtained a demo for the game through a gaming magazine and was intrigued by the approach and rush of the title, and inspired him to create a fan-lead version in 2004, using hand-drawn graphics. While the game was popular and he wanted to make a sequel, he lacked the funds to develop it. Matt Porter of Hooked Gamers gave the game a 7.4 out of 10 rating, commenting that the game is 'surprisingly difficult at times', and that it 'has a lot of charm', but also called the game 'repetitive'.Touch Arcade's Jon Polson gave the iPad version four and a half stars, but did not think the simplified controls made the game better. The sequel is more story-driven than the previous games, taking place in an apocalyptic future, with the player a human chef aboard a food truck manned by robotic assistants, competing in a national food truck championship.
