Cook, Serve, Delicious! is a restaurant simulation video game released in 2012, developed and published by Vertigo Gaming. The player controls the menu and running of a restaurant, with in-game currency being awarded by correctly filling customer orders. Directed by David Galindo, it featured art by Sara Gross and music from Jonathan Geer. The game was released on 5 October 2012, for PC, and for Steam after a period on Steam Greenlight from 8 October 2013. It was later ported to iOS, Android and the Nintendo Switch. Cook, Serve, Delicious! drew inspiration from the 1999 video game Ore no Ryouri.
