Katy and Bob Learn a Lesson
I'm not an expert with time management games by any means, I'm normally a HOG and HOPA player by trade. However, every now and then I like to branch out and play around. This game is fun. The visuals are nice, though if you're playing on a small screen then some of the added bits and pieces can be difficult to see. The addition of achievements and upgrades help propel this game along quite nicely. The greatest detraction, for myself at least, were that some of the tasks you were assigned to earn extra money were too vague or too finicky to really be feasible when sending your waitress zooming around. Overall, however, I really did enjoy this game and I would play any future releases in the series (provided they changed the settings and plot of course). If you have an extra bit of money to spare and you want something to keep you busy then this is a great game for it.

Great TM game
This is NOT a dash-style game in that you do NOT have to drag customers to tables (which I hate). You only have to fill orders for people at the counter and bring them their food and take money, making it more like the cake decorating ones.
It's cute and very enjoyable, even though the later levels DO get harder. There are several different bars you have to run, one after the other, and although you have to start over with some of the perks with each one, you also have some perks that are permenant, so you don't have to rebuy from level to level, and you also still have them when you go back to complete earlier levels, so that's really good.
I like that it's not a click fest. Like to pick up coins, you only have to hover your mouse over them and it picks them up without you having to click. Great for those who don't like the strain on the tendons in your fingers from those click-fest TM games.

Didn't enjoy it.
Thought I'd try this game to see what all the fuss was about and I was not very impressed!
Good Parts:
The best part of this game was the bar minigame. It was very fun and I enjoyed it a lot
Similar controls to the Turbo games so I knew what I was doing
Tasks made the game a little better
A good storyline
OK Parts:
The game got really boring after a while
The level of challenge was not great. I always seemed to get $200 over the expert goal
The graphics need improving. They were very old-looking for a game released in 2012.
Bad Parts:
Like the Turbo games, I didn't have much fun with this one.
You had to wait for pretty much everything. For the pommegranite to grow, for the coconuts to be ready, for the cocktails to be made, etc.
Upgrades cost too much, which was a shame because I really needed them for help in the game.
For all the fuss, the game is a disappointment. Not recommended.

Pretty Easy!
It's not difficult at all. Very easy for me. I'm pretty good at time management games. This wasn't very challenging but it was really fun and I enjoyed it.

Very Clicky, Not Too Thinky
This is a fast paced TM game. It's fairly easy and entertaining. However, I did have an issue with the fact that the brother spent all of his time behind the bar and the sister ran around doing 99.9% of the work. Couldn't they have traded off? If you enjoy fast paced TM games with a lot of clicking, this one is pretty good. If you're looking for a little more thinking, planning, and resource management, you should probably give this one a miss.

Didn't love it; didn't hate it
I really can't go either way on this game. I love TM games, but this did not score that high with me. I am a dasher by heart and I also love the Turbo Pizza games.....it looks like it was developed by the same people as Turbo.

a simple game to pass the time , nothing interesting , nothing too exciting. very - very easy game ,I would say a good game only for beginners.
certainly not for experienced players , no challenge here...

Beautiful graphics
I did buy this one; the graphics were beautiful and gameplay fun, but the music is (IMO) awful. Not at all tropical and quite annoying. There is also a different track during the game to outside the game. Turning it off doesn't help; it needs something.
Other than the music i really liked it.
