This looks to be an early game, possibly based on a zx81 game and written in basic. You are running a company that appears to rent out a roadside eatery of either fastfood, cafe or a restaurant based ona market research report.

First you have to
1. bid on a franchise
2. set the cost of the food
3. decide if you want to accept a loan
4. amount to spend on advertising
5. decide to pay off the staff with a 5% pay rise.
finally how much of a dividend to pay.

Pretty poor basic program that ends after 4 turns or if you make a typo..ends at a basic listing.

I feel immensely disappointed with this because I thought this was something to do with cooking, which now happens to be one of my most favourite things to do personally thanks to the lockdowns. However, it's got nothing to do with cooking, it's about running a business and a lot of these games were like that and some are better than this, a lot better as a matter of fact. This fell flat very quickly and never recovered. I have reviewed a lot of bad games here but a lot of the times it is most expected and thus very few have left me with a great sense of disappointment, this game has achieved that.
