About This Demo

Run a Restaurant. Build a Life. Don't Burn Out.

Burnout Bistro Demo is a life and restaurant management game where every day is a balancing act. Build your restaurant from a small operation into a thriving business while trying to keep your own life together.

Manage Your Restaurant

Buy ingredients with different quality and prices, unlock new recipes and continuously improve yourself to match rising standards.

There will be rival restaurants in town trying to take a piece of your business. Have a wider menu or better cooking to get back your customers, and hope your rivals go broke before you.

Build Your Team

Hire employees with useful personality traits, good cooking skills... or hire the one with the lowest salary. Keep an eye out for their relationships with each other, lest they make your life even harder than it already is.

Take Care of Your Personal Life

Your restaurant isn't the only thing you have to watch out for. Make sure to take a few days off when needed and don't forget to spend some money on yourself. As your character grows older they will need more and more items to keep them satisfied.

Unique Customers

Customers will arrive with their own ever-growing  expectations of quality, value and atmosphere, as well as unique needs that may not make other customers happy. Maybe you could run a pet friendly restaurant, or allow people to use your place to "work from home", or maybe you want everyone to get out as fast as possible to maximize profit. The choice is yours.
