The food side of this game is very well researched and interesting. In particular, the running of the restaurant, like food cost to quality, is quite accurate. As to everything else... the game itself has less than perfect controls, and very little help. Mostly, however, it's the incredibly slow gameplay that drove me mad. It's the kind of game I let play out while I went and watched a TV show, checking in when the show ended every half hour. Likewise, the constant complaints of the food not being good enough versus the food being good but the price too high will probably annoy you to death, while ensuring you never become a chef. If you have the patience, I think you may be able to make something out of it, but if not being able to make the game speed skip forward to the end of the day bothers you, do not under any circumstances play this one.
