 Decide from one of eight types of cuisine.
 Set your prices. 
 Hire kitchen staff to improve your food quality. 
 Hire wait staff to improve your level of service.
 Renovate your space to improve your ambiance.

Do these in any order you like, but do them better than everyone else, and quickly! Before you know it the first customers will be rolling in!

Features many details of the restaurant business including differing neighborhoods, cuisine types and a wide variety of employees and renovations.

At the end of the year though, it's the planner who has the most money who wins.
