Upon joining the game, players choose the location for their restaurant in a vast expanse of land. Next, they are given the option to select a type of restaurant the player finds suitable, like trendy, modern, wooden, lounge, etc. The type of cuisine comes next: whether the player would want his restaurant to feature Indian, English, French, etc.

After these steps, the player can enter the game as the owner of the restaurant, whereupon they are assigned guests or customers to attend. Players can assign the guests to empty tables and then take their orders. The menu is an important part of the game where players, after choosing their favourite cuisine, select a base item to start the restaurant. By leveling up, they unlock new dishes under Starters, Main Course, and Dessert.
