Pizza Rivals

You play Chef Kitty, proud owner of one of the most popular Pizzerias in town, currently holding around 50% of the market. Unfortunately, the other 50% of the market is in the hands of Chef Puppy, your eternal rival and owner of the Pizzeria next door.

It's time to decide once and for all who the best pizza Chef is. To settle this, the two rivals will have three days to try to gain as much favor from the public as possible.

Rules

• Be the Chef with more than 50% "Client appeal" at the end of day 3.
• Each order you deliver increases your score and your appeal based on how well made the pizza is.
• Client orders expire with time. The green bar at the top of the order represents time left before it expires.
• Each order you cannot deliver in time will decrease your Client appeal!
• A pizza cannot be delivered if there is no client order for it.
• Chef Puppy will also be doing its best at the same time, so you may see the client appeal move in its favor once in a while.

Tips

• Take the pizza from the oven as soon as the check-mark appears. Leaving it too long may overcook it, or burn it. You cannot deliver burnt pizza.
• Orders don't have to be delivered as they come. You can choose which one to serve first depending on your strategy. Just remember that you do lose some client appeal if you let an order expire.
• You can use the shelf on your helper's side to hold a pizza for you.
• You can get rid of pizzas with the trashcan at the far right side of the kitchen.

On lower spec systems the game may take a while to load the first time because of shader caching.

Multiple order possibilities!

Each day new possible recipes and pizza sizes become available, keeping the challenge up! Clients may also make custom orders with their favorite toppings!

Scoring

Pizza-making requires finesse and precision. From the stretching of the dough to the slicing off the pizza, each step accumulates points based on how well executed it was.

Deliver the pizza to gain the accumulated score and client appeal!

Executing a step perfectly grants bonus points. Just be careful not to take too much time seeking perfection, or you may end up with angry customers instead!

Try to build the highest score you can!
