Gourmet Empire: Idle Chef

"Gourmet Empire: Idle Chef" is a game about the seafood business with a dual income stream. You start on the street near a pond where a fisherman catches fish and an employee delivers it to customers. At the same time, you save up to open the restaurant across the street, and when it finally opens, the business reaches a whole new level. You can sell raw fish directly, but prepared dishes bring in significantly more. The more diverse the seafood in the ponds—fish, octopus, scallops, and others—the broader the menu and the more customers you attract. The restaurant operates even when you’re away, so the income keeps coming in even when you’re not playing.

How to play?

Unlock the first pond—the fisherman immediately starts fishing, and an employee brings the catch to customers. Upgrade the pond so that fish are caught faster and bring in more profit. Satisfied customers leave tips; collect them near the counter. Complete the tasks at the top of the screen to earn gems. Use these gems to unlock new dishes for your restaurant. Once you’ve saved up enough, unlock the second pond with an octopus and upgrade it using the same method. The total amount earned is displayed near the restaurant—reach the required amount and it will unlock. Set up furniture, combine items to upgrade them, unlock the first dish, and start serving customers. At the same time, continue unlocking new ponds with different seafood and expand the restaurant’s menu.
