Hello Chefs! 👩🏻🍳👨🏻🍳
As we've pointed before, we're here with a new update in Cooking Fest, bringing a new game mode and many fixes/improvements along the way. 🎉
Before we get into today’s update, we’ve got some big news!
As part of Cooking Fest, Kebab Chefs is now 50% OFF, marking the biggest discount in the game’s history! 🏷️

If you’ve been waiting to jump into the kitchen, now might be the perfect time.
But there’s another reason to gather your friends...
🏪 NEW CO-OP MODE | BUSINESS RIVALS
Until now, multiplayer in Kebab Chefs has mostly been about working together, sharing the same restaurant and beating gourmets.
This new mode changes that completely.
Instead of running one restaurant together, each player now can manage their own restaurant within the same neighborhood.

Build your business, serve your customers, improve your restaurant and try to outperform everyone else around you.
Your friends are no longer your coworkers.
They’re your competition.
💣 SABOTAGE IS COMPLETELY FAIR GAME
In this mode, sabotaging your rivals is completely legit!
You’ll even be able to purchase special items designed specifically to cause trouble for competing restaurants.
See your friend having a suspiciously successful day?
Might be time to do something about that. 👀

🍜 SANDBOX OR COMPETITION
The new mode can be played in two different ways depending on your gameplay style.
You can play it as a Sandbox Mode, where everyone runs their own restaurant in the same neighborhood for as long as they want, or turn it into a proper competition with a set number of days.
In Competitive Mode, once the final day is over, the best performing restaurant is crowned the winner!
