A free pizzeria game in your browser

Rush at the pizzeria is a short restaurant management game: you run the counter of a pizzeria on your own for a whole day. The phone rings, customers queue up, and the pizzas come out of the oven and go cold if nobody serves them. A game takes about two minutes and works on phone and computer, with no sign-up or download.

Three services follow one another: lunch to get the hang of it, the evening when things heat up, then Friday night, the big rush. Between services you equip your pizzeria: online ordering, pickup time slots, a self-order kiosk, a bigger oven… Find the combination that scores the most points.

How to play

  1. Pick up the phone when it rings: callers who wait too long hang up, and the order is lost.
  2. Tap the customer at the counter to take their order. If the queue waits too long, people walk out.
  3. When an order is ready, tap the bag or the customer to serve and get paid, before the pizzas go cold.
  4. You only have one pair of hands: one thing at a time. If stress gets too high, you have a meltdown and lose a few seconds.

Tips for a high score

  • The score counts your sales, how happy your customers are and your stress: serving fast and staying calm earn points too, not just selling a lot.
  • In the first service, learn the rhythm: follow the hand, it shows you what to tap.
  • Online orders print themselves and arrive already paid, which leaves your hands free for the counter.
  • With pickup time slots, online orders spread over the whole service instead of arriving all at once.
  • A bigger oven helps in the kitchen, but the phone keeps ringing.
