One of the titles I only found out about through 3DS game recommendations.
You play as Johnny, who decides he wants to be a big shot, which he will accomplish through buying lots of flashy, expensive things, which he will afford by working as a line cook in five different restaurants at once; the ultimate goal of the game is to make enough money to buy all the items on your "big shot" list. The "run a busy, frantic restaurant" video game premise is nothing new, and while this game is not as polished as the Cook, Serve, Delicious series or classics like Diner Dash, it's still a pretty good experience in its own right.
There's not a huge amount of variety gameplay wise, what with there only being five different types of food to prepare, of which you will only see one in any given session due to the need for a dedicated prep station for each. The main challenge at first is figuring out the fastest, most efficient way to prepare each food; this aspect actually gets easier over time as you level up in each restaurant and unlock upgrades, but that's counterbalanced by the same progression leading …

There's not a huge amount of variety gameplay wise, what with there only being five different types of food to prepare, of which you will only see one in any given session due to the need for a dedicated prep station for each. The main challenge at first is figuring out the fastest, most efficient way to prepare each food; this aspect actually gets easier over time as you level up in each restaurant and unlock upgrades, but that's counterbalanced by the same progression leading to extended shifts that feature a bigger crowd of diners with more complicated orders. Other things to keep in mind if you want to progress through each venue is that even a single bad order will give you a significant performance hit. Skipping work at one place too many days in a row will net you a warning; missing one more day at that point will get you demoted (thankfully, this can't happen with more than one restaurant at once). There's also the less patient diners that will regularly show up alongside the basic ones, but on the flipside, you can also get a visit from a heavyset guy who won't leave until you've served him three times , but will give you a big score bonus if you manage to do so.
Critically, the play sessions are short enough that you can comfortably fit them into a visit to the toilet. Overall, it's quite a pleasant little game to work your way through when you've got a minute or two to spare, particularly if the premise sounds appealing to you.
