Some bugs, but I've been making it through them all so far. The main sticking point of this game is that they only let you serve one station per dish at a time (which is to say, only four servings of any dish maximum), meaning that if something runs out and people are demanding more, you essentially have to spend a significant portion of the accelerated business hours to throw together another one, or just let all those people go hungry, instead of just prestocking the dish at the serving tables twice. Even if you do a bunch of prep ahead of time, the cooking and plating generally take too long to finish before the day closes out. You can also microwave preprepared dishes that were stored in the freezer, but those take a ratings penalty. However, I might just start doing it to get those idiots off my back, although even the microwave takes time to work. That being said, there are a lot of menu and decoration options, and plenty of other things to do, and the process of cooking food, which can be finicky at times, is still enjoyable for me, but I find that the execution could have been tightened up in some way, as the pace of a game day versus the slow methodical cooking prep (even when you have all upgrades and are actively rushing) remains at odds with each other. Last detail: if you're playing solo, be aware that the hired workers you can get to make things smoother don't come into the picture until after a few milestone challenges in, meaning that you're going to have to deal with the plate amd money taking, plus the dishwashing situation up to that point. My rating is "a good deal when it's on sale".
