Introduction

Four chefs. Four restaurants. One winner. 

Kitchen Clash! is a 2-player, fast-paced, top-down restaurant simulator. Players choose between four diverse chef characters, cook up four delicious meals (burgers, tostadas, bahn mi, and falafel sandwiches), and collect tips from customers. Each day is 3 minutes long; at the end of day 5, the player with the most tips wins.

How To Play

Take orders on the order window, on the lower corner of the screen. 

Make meals according to customer orders. Put the "meat" ingredient on the grill, then combine them with sauce/vegetable ingredients while holding the "bun" ingredient. 

Interact with an empty soda cup in hand with a soda machine to fill up soda. 

Customers will tip based on the timeliness and correctness of the order. "Critics" (customers with a red aura) may also visit the restaurant; they are punishing for incorrect orders but very rewarding for correct and speedy ones. 

Each day lasts 3 minutes. At the end of day 5, the player with the most amount of tips wins.
