About Bistro Hustle: Idle Chef
BUILD A FOOD EMPIRE FROM ONE PRETZEL CART.
Bistro Hustle is an idle restaurant tycoon. Tap to cook the first order, hire chefs to automate your stands, upgrade everything and grow 40 food stands into a global restaurant chain. Your kitchen keeps earning even when you are offline.
TAP, THEN STOP TAPPING
Every stand starts in your hands. Hire a chef and it runs without you. The whole game is the slow handover from your thumb to your kitchen staff.
DAY AND NIGHT CHANGE THE MENU
A full day passes every few minutes, with its own music for day and night. Coffee, bakeries and sweets sell best by day. Street food, grills and fine dining come alive at night. Plan your next stand around the clock.
40 STANDS, ONE LIST
Pretzel cart, coffee corner, taco truck, ramen house, sushi bar, steakhouse, rooftop restaurant, cruise ship restaurant, global chain. No maps to manage, no timers to babysit, just one list that keeps growing.
EVERY MILESTONE IS FASTER
Hit 25, 50, 100, 200, 300 or 400 of a stand and its income doubles. Stands with a chef also cook twice as fast, so even the slowest kitchen ends up flying.
262 UPGRADES
Bigger trays, faster service, fresh ingredients, second counters, brand signs, loyalty cards. Every stand has six of its own, and twelve global upgrades multiply all of them.
NINE REGIONS, NINE REWARDS
Street food, coffee, fast food, bakery, sweets, grill, Asian cuisine, seafood, fine dining. The world map shows your next goal, and every new region you reach pays out gems.
EVENTS THAT CHANGE THE RUN
Street festivals, happy hours, food critics, bakery rushes. And bad days too, meat price hikes, health inspections, storms at sea. Fifteen events roll through the day.
CHEFS THAT WORK WHILE YOU SLEEP
Chefs keep cooking when the app is closed. Come back to a pile of cash, and upgrade how long the kitchen stays open while you are away.
DAILY GIFTS AND TASKS
Open the game every day for your gift calendar. Finish daily tasks for gems and spend them to double your offline earnings, cancel a bad event or finish a purchase you cannot quite afford.
SELL OUT AND START RICHER
When a run peaks, sell everything for Golden Stars. Stars are permanent. They multiply every future run and buy seed money, longer offline earnings and chefs that start hired. The next empire is built faster than the last.
ADS ARE OPTIONAL
Watch one only when you want it, for double income, free gems or double offline earnings. Nothing is locked behind an ad, and there is nothing to buy.
Plays offline. One hand, portrait, no account needed. In 7 languages, English, Español, Português, Français, Deutsch, Türkçe, 日本語. Change the language any time in SETTINGS.
