My Best Chef is a multi-action card game that earns resources by efficiently working more than 50 types of staff working in restaurants.
As the restaurant manager, your goal is to gather the resources to hire staff, get more resources by working them, hire better staff and create a highly regarded restaurant.
The staff are all unique cards.
Cards that can be adopted range from cooking staff, including chefs who cook food at restaurants, to staff who provide the necessary customer service, purchasing, and recruitment for the store, and staff who manage disposal.
The main point of this game is to collect resources in cooperation with the staff of each department.
Another point is the "disposal token".
This represents the garbage (waste) of the ingredients that are generated when the staff works at the restaurant. Care must be taken as overworking and accumulating waste will damage the restaurant's reputation, resulting in loss of ratings and dismissal of staff.
In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to hire management staff to dispose of waste and keep the store clean.
