Map

The game takes place in a desert. The map has the Restaurant which is the centerpiece of the game, the Garage where trucks can be found and where cargo can be unloaded, and the Factory where cargo shows up to be delivered to the garage for restocking ingredients. It also has a hidden Basement.

Outside of the restaurant, there are solar panels, a parking lot, a Wish Store for buying Halloween and Christmas crates, and Hobo Joe's shop for buying a Standing Fan.

User Interface

On the top-left corner there is:

• a UI button, for hiding all of the UI elements
• a Cmd button, showing all the available commands in the game.

On the top, there is a Menu button, a Recipes button, and the current in-game time in between. The game makes use of 24-hour time, so it is 13:00 instead of 1:00 PM. Right below the in-game time is a star meter representing the restaurant's rating, and the current day number.

On the left side of the screen there is a Rewards button, an Inventory button, a Changelog button, a Gamepasses button, and a Settings button. And on the right side, there is a Locator button.

On the bottom-left corner, there is:

• the number of stars you have
• the amount of currency you have
• your avatar
• the amount of energy you have (along with your energy rate)
• your current rank along with the amount of points for that rank.

On the bottom, there is your earnings multiplier.

On the bottom-right corner, there are the applicable controls for the game.

Mechanics

In a new server, the game starts at day 0. Days start at 0:00 and end at 23:59, because the game uses 24-hour time. Inside the restaurant, there is a chart showing the bills, bank, and net amount. Once the bills exceed the bank, the restaurant will soon close due to bankruptcy and the game starts all over at day 0.

The following sections give a brief overview of the game's mechanics.
