Think You Can Run the Perfect Restaurant? Prove It in the Beta!

The first Spice & Grill playtest is now live!

And you can request to play it right now (Requests will be granted very shortly)! This playtest will be live for quite a while - 2 weeks or a bit more, perhaps? Access will be given very soon as well.

Playtest Features!

  • Spice & Grill sits at the bottom of your screen, allowing you to work, play other games, or watch videos while your restaurant serves customers.

  • Unlock over 30 unique dishes using dozens of fresh ingredients. Your staff members will be able to cook them and serve them all!

  • Seasons and weather shift your restaurant’s mood and economy.

  • Various structures that change up and improve the way your staff members serve food!

  • A cap level 30 out of 150 is set in this playtest, generally equalling 5 to 10 hours of playtime to 100%.

Feedback Please!

I've purposefully omitted the tutorial from this playtest. Wait, what?

You read that right. Your feedback is REALLY important in shaping the future of Spice & Grill, and as such I'd like to see how understandable the game is in its current state!

I've left some buttons to leave feedback from within the game (Left side of your screen and Settings Menu), so please do leave feedback for the game if you're playing it!

Alternatively, you can send feedback from here as well!

What's Next?

I'll be releasing a demo for Spice & Grill some time after the playtest. You can expect it to land around April or May!

To keep up with me, feel free to contact me on [email protected] OR join the Discord Server!

Thank you so much for your support so far!
