Coming soon to Early Access on Steam
SIM Chef
SIM Chef is a restaurant management simulator. Build and decorate, manage your staff, create hundreds of classic dishes and drinks, make decisions and become the number one in the world.
Early Access planned for 2026.
What it will be
- From an empty lot
- You start with a small, empty piece of land and build everything from scratch: walls, doors, windows. Once the money comes in, buy more land and expand.
- Make it yours
- Furniture, materials and colors for the dining room and the kitchen, down to your staff’s uniforms and the plates you serve on.
- Hire with care
- Every candidate has skills, traits, a nationality and an experience level. Chefs should match your dishes, and each bartender has a drink they do best.
- Over 300 dishes and drinks
- From many countries, with different techniques and levels of difficulty. Choose the ones your kitchen can do well.
- Reviews and awards
- Every customer leaves a review, and the rating shows where you are losing points. Do well and the awards follow: city and national prizes, magazines, YouTubers and, at the top, world stars.
- Play your way
- Sandbox mode lets you spend your time decorating, or chase profit by tweaking seating, prices and salaries.

Development
SIM Chef is being rebuilt with a new interface. Hiring, the menu, stock and reviews already work in it. Next, the staff gets a body in the dining room: chefs moving from station to station and waiters taking plates to the tables.
To follow along, add it to your wishlist. Steam will let you know when Early Access opens.
