Summary

Although Delicious mainly focused on gameplay, the main storyline was that Emily just bought her first restaurant and worked her way up the career ladder, working at more fancy places. Each restaurant attracts a different type of customers, and offers a combination of several of the ten different food products.

Gameplay

The Basics

Main article: Gameplay

It has a story mode (City to City) and an endless mode (Day In, Day Out). Story mode features eight restaurants of five days each. Originally, players were challenged to successfully run eight restaurants that went for five days each. The first series game, however, did not have much of a storyline, and instead focused on the gameplay.

Customers come in and Emily must serve them before they get angry, clear the tables, and handle payment. She must achieve a certain goal of points to be able to progress to the next day, but there are no expert goals. The gameplay is also restricted in that Emily cannot add items to her tray that haven't been ordered. After finishing each restaurant, the player recieves a reward to make gameplay a little easier (see below). The awarded chocolates can be used to cheer up impatient customers.
