Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!

About Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!

Vertigo Gaming dropped this sequel in September 2017 after the original became an unlikely hit. It is a chaotic restaurant simulator that throws you into the Teragon Supertower. You start with nothing but savings and a broken-down kitchen. The goal is to rebuild your establishment from a zero-star dump into a five-star empire while managing money, staff, and customers. The game spans multiple platforms including PC, Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, Mac, and Linux. It supports single player or cooperative multiplayer where you run the kitchen together. The premise is simple but the execution demands constant focus as you handle orders that pile up faster than you can chop vegetables.

Gameplay

You manage a frantic kitchen where every second counts. Orders appear on screens and you must coordinate chopping, cooking, plating, and serving without dropping anything. A typical session involves switching between stations while monitoring customer happiness meters that drop if you hesitate. You unlock new recipes and equipment to speed up your workflow as you climb the tower. The game introduces shift work where you run different restaurants for other players in the building. Tournaments and reality show segments break up the main campaign with specific challenges. Controls are tight but punishing. You press buttons to grab ingredients, move them to burners, and plate dishes before the timer runs out. One mistake can ruin a batch of food or lose a customer.

What Players Think

Players rate this game highly despite its difficulty. Metacritic gave it a 74 which reflects solid reviews from critics who praise the pacing. The PlayPile community notes an average playtime that pushes well past the main story for those chasing completion. We track 45 achievements with a low average unlock rate of 13.3 percent. The "Espresso Chef" trophy remains the rarest at just 1.00 percent across all profiles. Reviews often mention the frustration of missing an order but also the satisfaction of pulling off a perfect rush. Most users report spending over ten hours to finish the campaign and unlock most trophies. The community vibe leans toward competitive stress relief rather than casual relaxation.

PlayPile's Take

This title costs as low as 3.75 dollars on GamersGate during sales so it is an easy buy for strategy fans. You should play this if you want a game that tests your reflexes and planning under pressure. The achievement data shows most players struggle with the harder challenges which adds value to the price point. It is not for anyone looking for a chill cooking experience. The 45 achievements offer plenty of grind after the story ends. Grab it when on sale and prepare for high stress sessions that demand total attention.

Storyline

It was seemingly like any other morning at SherriSoda Tower as you take the elevator up to open Cook, Serve, Delicious!, a platinum star restaurant that was surging in popularity thanks to your amazing chef and management skills. Just then, a swarm of police surround SherriSoda Tower. It seems the SherriSoda head executives were secretly stealing funds from the company at the same time they were incurring a staggering amount of debt, draining the accounts of the tower and several of the businesses inside of it, including CSD. Just like that, the tower was closed and put up for federal auction, including everything inside of it. It was all over…the Cook, Serve, Delicious! restaurant was no more. Angry but determined to rebuild, you’ve scrounged up all of your personal life’s savings and bought commercial space inside the Teragon Supertower, the largest skyscraper in the city. It’s here that you will start a brand new Cook, Serve, Delicious! restaurant, build it back to its former glory, and rebuild your legacy as the best chef in the world. Good luck!
