Update (2022-10-29):

Many of the game mechanics issues I mentioned got fixed with a recent update.

I still think that the game should have remained early access for a bit longer to polish some of the previously too simplistic game mechanics.

However, the developer is easy to get in contact with on their Discord and they are doing their best to fix things.

Therefore, I'm changing this review to "recommended".

You can get a decent amount of fun out of this game and it doesn't cost too much for what it is.

Original Review:

The game mechanics are horrible.

You can deposit things for your employees to use but can't take them back because of the clumsy "inventory" system. Your kepab shop ran out of ketchup but you still got a trillion liters at your hot dog stand? Bad luck. You can't re-distribute your resources.

Need to restock during business hours? Too bad. You are out of money and your daily earnings are not added to your balance before the next day.

Waiting for that sweet midnight cash injection to finally be able to buy that new piece of equipment? Too bad. Your other shop was closed the whole day because they remember whichever state they were in when you went to bed and you have to open them yourself the next day. Your employee won't do it.

Your customer wants a hot dog with mustard? Too bad. They actually wanted mayonnaise but you can't tell them apart due to bad color choices.

Your customer wants a kebap? Too bad. They wanted it without ketchup despite the tutorial suggesting that they are always made with ketchup and mayonnaise.

Got enough money to hire someone? Too bad. You can't at this state of the game. You have to do the tedious tasks yourself until you hit some arbitrary progress goal to unlock that feature.

And by the way: Unity just crashed. Good luck identifying the last savegame among the auto-generated save slot names which are also labeled with whichever date they were initially created with.

All of this would have been acceptable, had this game remained in early access. However, this is now considered a full release and for that, it's lacking tons of polishing.
