Decided to play this one just because of the straightforward Platinum trophy. About 7 hours logged (according to PS5 tracking).
I've played several cooking/management games in my lifetime, but this one's a bust. There's no consequence to having customers wait on their food, nor is there consequence to running out of time during the cooking mini-games. All of these issues make this one feel like a repetitive chore than an engaging restaurant management game.
There's even some more minor annoyances like limiting player interactions during certain sequences. For example, you aren't allowed to clear a table or take any customers when there's a prompt over one of the chefs that wants to talk to you.
If you're really interested in getting a straightforward Platinum trophy, just hope you can tolerate lackluster cooking mini-games.
