The food industry is always a very lucrative source of business opportunities and here's your chance to dominate this industry in a time management casual game. GourMania is all about earning your way to the top by monopolizing your area's food shops, but of course, you'll have to start at the bottom first, and that means being the sole chef for your new restaurants on their initial openings.
Starting off in the game, you are to work for an ailing fast food chain being its only chef. Earning enough money during your shifts will accumulate enough funds to buy this diner for yourself. Of course, you'll soon realize that buying businesses that earn you consistent income is the best route to go, and thus, opens up a lot more opportunities for you to buy other underdeveloped food shops and save them from ruin for your own benefit.
GourMania is actually a blend of both time management and hidden object gameplay. Most of your task in-game is to wait for customer orders, find the correct ingredients for these orders and prepare the food for serving. All of these tasks should be done per customer as you take note of their patience levels. Your shop will also open for a limited time only, so be sure to serve the maximum customers within this limited time for more profit.
Earning money is really the name of the game. Most of the money you'll be earning would be spent on buying upgrades and other tools to help you prepare food. Remaining money though would be used to buy other food shops, and honestly, I just get very excited whenever a shop goes public for purchase. I guess it's just a very cool concept for a casual game to have you buying businesses, and earning residual income from them too after each day of operations.
