Restaurant Profit Simulator

Open a restaurant and discover whether revenue is really the same as profit.

Q: What changes in Easy, Standard, and Hard?

Easy lowers the net-worth goal and gives demand and cost assistance. Standard maintains regular baseline assumptions. Hard starts with less cash, higher operating expenses, weaker foot traffic, and an aggressive net-worth target.

Q: Where is my personal best saved?

Your high scores and autosaves are stored locally in your browser via localStorage with zero server tracking or required login.

Q: How should I use challenge mode in class?

Assign students the same scenario preset, have them evaluate primary bottlenecks between prime costs and throughput, and require one documented pricing, staffing, or menu refinement per cycle.

Q: Can I download or export my operating results?

Yes. When a challenge or operating term finishes, use the Download Results (CSV) button to export monthly revenue, food costs, labor, delivery fees, profit, covers, and operational decisions as a spreadsheet for grading or analysis.

Challenge FAQ

Restaurant simulator challenge modes

What changes in Easy, Standard, and Hard?

Easy lowers the net-worth goal and gives demand/cost help. Standard keeps the normal model. Hard starts with less cash, higher costs, weaker demand, and a higher target.

Where is my personal best saved?

Your best result is saved only in this browser using localStorage. There are no accounts or server saves.

How should I use challenge mode in class?

Have students run the same challenge, compare bottlenecks, then explain one pricing, staffing, or quality change they would try next.

Can I download or export my operating results?

Yes. When a challenge or operating term finishes, use the Download Results (CSV) button to export monthly revenue, food costs, labor, delivery fees, profit, covers, and operational decisions as a spreadsheet for grading or analysis.
