A turn-based food truck tycoon game and a mash-up of classic tycoons with wacky 90s nostalgia. You’ll manage a street food cart, expand to food trucks, and sell to quirky customers in a comedic storyline. It has a good amount of management depth, analytics, strategy, and a nostalgic vibe.

Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re launching Business Heroes: Street Grub in Early Access because we want to develop it with player feedback! This game is a deep street-food business sim with lots of moving parts, and we want to design the best experience together with our community. Early Access lets us serve new features and content in manageable bites, get your thoughts on what works best, and refine the recipe over time. In short, we believe developing the game with you – our players – will help turn Street Grub into the ultimate food truck empire strategy game. We’re excited to hear your ideas while we keep improving the game!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’re aiming to keep Street Grub in Early Access for about 12 months (tentatively). We think a year is long enough to develop all the features and content we’ve got planned, but we’ll gladly take a little extra time if needed to get everything just right. The timeline isn’t set in stone – we’ll be listening to your feedback along the way, and if we discover we need more time to add that extra spice or polish, we’ll let you know. In short, roughly a year (give or take) is our plan, and we’ll keep everyone updated if that changes. Quality is the goal, so we won’t rush the final release until the game feels ready!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We have big plans for what’s coming to Street Grub as we work towards a full release. By 1.0, we’re aiming to add more challenges, a richer menu system with more unique recipes, and deeper character progression for your staff and suppliers. We also plan to introduce a couple of rival AI entrepreneurs to compete against, which should spice up the strategy!

On top of new content, the full version will have polished visuals and audio, and lots of quality-of-life improvements. Essentially, the Early Access version is the appetiser – fun and fully playable, but the full release will be the complete banquet with all the trimmings. Of course, we’ll be listening to player suggestions along the way, so the final feature list may evolve a bit to include the community’s best ideas.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Street Grub is fully playable and already a blast, with all core systems up and running.

Right now, you can:
– Build your street food business from scratch in Campaign Mode across the 7 cities with different weather, GDP, ingredient price, etc.
– Manage 12+ street food stalls and recipes, from a burger bike to a double-decker food truck – each with its own upgrades and quirks.
– Hire and train staff, handle customer rush hours, and juggle random events (like food festivals or sudden rainstorms that affect sales).
– Enjoy Sandbox Mode for endless play, or tackle Challenge Scenarios with special rules.

The game’s core economic simulation, tech tree, and customer AI are in place and fairly balanced, though we expect to refine them further with feedback.

Performance is stable; you should get a smooth experience, though minor bugs and rough edges can pop up here and there (we’re fixing these regularly!). Some content is still in progress. Overall, Street Grub already offers hours of strategic gameplay (many players report 15-20 hours in this build), but there’s plenty more content and polish coming as we continue development.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes – we do plan to adjust the price as development progresses. Right now, during Early Access, Street Grub is priced a bit lower than we expect the final version to be. We’ve set the current price to reflect the content available today, and as we keep adding new cities, features and improvements, the plan is to gradually raise the price to match the game’s expanded scope. This way, early supporters get the best value (consider it a thank-you for joining us early!), while the final price will fairly represent the full content at 1.0.

In practical terms, this means the cost might go up at key milestones – for example, after we add major updates. Rest assured, we’ll announce any price changes well in advance. If you buy the game now, you’ll of course get all these updates free, and you’ll be locking in Street Grub at the lowest price it’ll ever be. We think that’s a pretty good deal for our founding food entrepreneurs! And if we decide later on that no price change is needed, we’ll let everyone know that too. Transparency is super important to us here.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community involvement is absolutely central to our plans for Street Grub. We’re a tiny dev team, but with your help, we know we can make this game truly special. Here’s how we’re inviting you to join in:

– Steam Forums & Discord: We’re active daily on the Steam discussion boards – you can find us there responding to feedback and troubleshooting issues with players. We’ve also set up an official Discord server (because who doesn’t love a good real-time chat?). Whether you have a cool idea for a new food truck, or you found a sneaky bug, come and talk to us!

– In-Game Feedback Tool: We’ve included a feedback button right in the game (look for the little notebook icon in the menu). If you press it, you can send us your thoughts or bug reports without even tabbing out. This sends us your notes plus some game data, which helps immensely in tracking down problems

– Regular Updates & Dev Blogs: We plan to drop updates roughly every two weeks, packed with new features or fixes. Alongside each update, we’ll post a brief dev blog or patch notes to keep you informed on what’s new, what’s changed, and what’s coming next. Expect to hear from us often – we love sharing progress!

– Your Ideas in Action: We have our own roadmap, but it’s not set in stone. If the community overwhelmingly wants a certain feature or balance change, we’re very open to adjusting our plans.”

About This Game

Ever dreamed of turning a simple food cart into a city-wide empire of flavour?

In Business Heroes: Street Grub, you play as an aspiring street food entrepreneur, starting with one tiny stall and expanding through strategy, savvy, and delicious cooking. This game combines turn-based strategy and business simulation to deliver a quirky, deep tycoon experience.

In our demo, you can play the opening weeks of your street food venture – will you become the talk of the town or go bust by the weekend?

🕒 Turn-Based Gameplay – Plan & Execute: Each in-game day is a turn. Night is for planning: choose your menu, set prices, pick your location. Hit “Start Day” and watch the customers roll in! No twitch reflexes needed – strategise at your own pace, then sit back and see the results.

🍔 Customisable Burgers – Craft the Perfect Recipe: Master the art of burger creation by choosing the right ingredients to delight each customer segment. Every demographic has a preferred flavour combination, and discovering the perfect burger recipe for each group is the secret to skyrocketing your food truck’s popularity!

🚚 Expand Your Fleet – From Cart to Double Decker: Grow from a single food cart to a fleet of food trucks. Upgrade your ride – get bigger grills, louder speakers, or a shiny new van. Unlock new trucks and assign them to different districts to multiply your revenue. (By the end of the demo, you can manage 3 trucks – in the full game, even more!)

🤝 Events: Random events like sudden rainstorms or viral trends will keep you on your toes and force you to adapt.

📈 Business Management Made Fun: Handle marketing, reviews, and budgeting in a light-hearted way. Launch ad campaigns and watch your popularity soar. Just don’t run out of cash – take a loan if you must, but the bank will want it back!

🏆 Sandbox Mode & Replayability: Each play-through is different. Try Sandbox Mode to build an empire without time limits or take on Challenge Scenarios. With procedural events and multiple strategies to try, Street Grub offers high replay value even after you master the main campaign.

Single Player

  • Career Mode: Dive into the day-to-day excitement of running your food truck, facing all the challenges and rewards that come with business ownership.

    The legend of Business Heroes begins here.

    Master Lee, once the world’s greatest entrepreneur, is running out of time — and patience. With no worthy heir to his empire, he creates the ultimate challenge: a business simulation so tough, only a true successor can conquer it. Based on his first venture, Street Grub throws you into the chaos of starting a food truck from scratch. Survive disasters, outsmart rivals, and grow faster than anyone dares — all while meeting Master Lee’s mysterious conditions. Will you rise… or get fried?

  • Sandbox Mode: Flex your creative muscles and explore various strategies without limits.

  • Weekly Challenge Mode: Test your skills against unique daily scenarios to maximise profits under varying conditions.

  • Time Challenge Mode: Compete to set record valuations and climb to the top of the leaderboards.

Road Map – What’s Cooking Next?

We are just getting started. We will be adding the following to the game:

  • Career: Large Enterprise Mode – Go beyond street food and scale up to a dozen multiple trucks, staff, and logistics like a true empire. (Includes several dashboards)

  • Achievements – Unlock over 100 fun and challenging Steam achievements as you grow your business and master the food truck life.

  • Time Challenge Mode – Compete against the clock in high-pressure scenarios where every second (and sale) counts.

  • Leaderboards – Climb the local and global rankings. Compare your company value, strategies, and efficiency with others.

  • Weekly Challenges – Special themed events with modifiers and rewards to keep gameplay fresh.

  • Daytime Actions – Interact more dynamically with the city during the day, from marketing stunts to mid-day strategy shifts.

  • New Products – Expand your business with Tacos, Ramen, Sandwiches, and Hot Dogs – each with its own ingredients and strategies.

  • AI Competitors – Smarter, more unpredictable rival vendors to compete with in various districts.

  • Multiplayer – Face off against friends (or foes) in real-time or turn-based food truck showdowns.

This roadmap is subject to change based on your feedback and what the community hungers for most!
