Dr Panda Restaurant

Four dishes and a drink, each made properly rather than symbolically: the pizza is topped, the pie is filled, the soup is stirred, the smoothie is blended. Nothing is timed and no guest leaves, which is the right decision for the audience.

What lifts it above the other children’s kitchens here is that the restaurant continues after the food. Tables have to be cleared, plates washed and rubbish sorted for recycling — so the game models a place of work rather than only the fun half of one.

Note on the name: this title is published under the Dr. Panda brand through the game network, and the pages on this site are not affiliated with the publisher beyond that distribution. The catalogue does not create new sections or titles around other companies’ brands.

1. Take an order from one of the animal guests.
2. Make the dish or drink at the right station.
3. Serve it to the table.
4. Clear the table and sort the rubbish afterwards.

Clear each table before taking the next order. Dirty tables block seats in this game, and a full dining room with nowhere to sit stops the orders entirely.
