Diner Dash vs Happy Cafe
Diner Dash
Diner Dash is the mobile version of the addictive time management game series of the same name that features a brand-new cooking adventure where you'll help Flo fend off Mr Big's attempt to bankrupt all the local diners, take over them, and set up his very unhealthy, Eat-Mor fast food restaurants. With 150 levels to play, you'll need to strategically seat and serve your customers while maximizing the tips you earn and the efficiency and speed at which you prepare the dishes. Satisfy the taste buds of various customers ranging from the fussy VIPs to the belligerent dine-and-dash-ers, by catering to their needs while keeping a close eye on them.Diner Dash is a game that's a long time coming but the wait is very much worth it, especially because PlayFirst has released Cooking Dash first to tide the fans over. However, if you are to compare the game with other similar games, we'd say that Diner Dash is more suitable for the hardcore time management gamer as there are seriously a lot of stuff to do - more than Cooking Dash or Cooking Fever, and definitely so much more than in Cooking Craze.
Happy Cafe
Happy Cafe is a restaurant/cafe management sim that may bring to mind games like Restaurant City (R.I.P.). Unlike traditional cooking-themed sims, this game allows you to actually build your own restaurant from the starter restaurant that you get. Prepare and cook a wide variety of dishes from across countries and cultures, put them up on display counters, and serve them to your respective customers. Like most sims though, you can decorate your place to your liking, expand your cafe, upgrade your kitchen appliances and also, being a rather social game, invite your friends to help you out from time to time. Best yet, the game even has a nice eco garden where you can plant, grow and harvest your very own organic ingredients to be used at your cafe.So, if you're looking for a restaurant/cafe management sim that's more laidback and where its "cooking process" merely includes a waiting time, then Happy Cafe is the game for you. It may not be a time management game, which happens to be an area they are an expert in, but Nordcurrent manages to deliver a wonderful game nonetheless.
