Restaurats

Restaurats is a management game in which players operate a restaurant in a fantasy setting, using rats as kitchen staff and servers. The game places the player in charge of running shifts, preparing food, and responding to unpredictable guest behavior. Each session is focused on handling one busy service round where everything must be managed in real time. The guests include various fantasy creatures, each with their own patterns of interaction. Some guests may drop items or cause messes that must be dealt with immediately to avoid disrupting the workflow.

Staff Roles and Guest Interaction

The player controls multiple rats at once, assigning them to different tasks throughout the restaurant. These include cooking, serving, and cleaning. Guests react to service speed and dish quality, sometimes leaving messes or returning food if dissatisfied. The layout of the restaurant is compact, meaning movement and task switching must be efficient. There is no pause or setup phase, and once the shift begins, the player must respond continuously. Mistakes can pile up quickly if orders are delayed or clean-up is ignored.

Key Tasks and In-Game Activities

The gameplay cycle is based on multitasking and fast reactions. Key responsibilities during each shift include:

·         Preparing different meals according to guest type

·         Delivering food to the correct tables before timers expire

·         Cleaning dropped food and spilled drinks during service

·         Managing rat staff by switching them between roles

·         Keeping the service running without falling behind

There are no upgrades or unlockable abilities—every shift starts with the same tools. The challenge comes from how the player adapts to each situation. Some rats may need to stop cooking to clean a spill, while others may be redirected mid-task to speed up delivery. The faster the player adjusts, the more likely they are to finish the shift successfully.

Restaurant Layout and Gameplay Structure

The environment in Restaurats remains consistent across sessions. The interior features cooking areas, guest tables, and cleaning zones. Rats are moved by the player to where they are needed most, while guests arrive in random combinations. There is no tutorial or guided story; everything is based on how the player reacts to what happens during a given round. Each guest type has specific habits, so learning how to serve them efficiently is part of mastering the game. Sessions are short but often require multiple attempts to complete without being overwhelmed.
