What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Bistro Cook is a simulation game in which kids learn about time management and multitasking. The player acts as a line cook and must prepare the appropriate dishes in the time allotted without burning each item. The stovetop has four burners, and the idea is to place the correct ingredient into the skillet, and then on to the correct dish. In the beginning dishes come out with one ingredient at a time, but then as the cook gets better, the pace picks up with multiple dishes and multiple ingredients. There is also an "Adventure" section that teaches users the cost of running a restaurant. Parents should know that players can connect to the Scoreloop game network, but participation is optional.
