What is Idle Cooking Emperor?
In a world centered on cooking, you train to become the best cook by dueling rivals and taking over their restaurants. You create and improve recipes, manage restaurants, and adjust ingredients and themes to increase profits while much of the game progresses automatically. You can also retire and train a new pupil with boosts based on your previous cook.
For you if...
- +you enjoy idle progress with occasional management decisions
- +you like adjusting recipes and running multiple restaurants
Not for you if...
- −you want hands-on cooking rather than automated progress
- −you dislike optimizing recipes to increase profits
