Game Controls
The game is played entirely with the mouse on PC or touch controls on mobile devices.
- Mouse (Desktop): Use the Left Click to click and drag ingredients, flip patties, select stations, and interact with all in-game elements.
- Touch (Mobile): Tap and drag items to move between stations and place ingredients.
How to Play: The Four Stations
The game progresses through four distinct stations. Your efficiency in moving between them determines your success.
1. Order Station
The game begins here. You select your character – Marty, Rita, or Papa Louie – and prepare to take orders. Customers enter, tell you exactly what kind of burger they want (specifying everything from cheese to extra toppings), and you write it down on a ticket. This ticket acts as your blueprint for the entire process.
2. Grill Station
This is the most time-sensitive station. After selecting one of the available patties, you place it on the grill. Your goal is to cook the patty to the customer’s desired doneness, flipping it at the exact right moment to achieve a perfect, light brown color. Be careful not to overcook it! Overcooked patties will result in low customer scores, regardless of your topping placement.
Tip: Watch the cooking timer indicators closely. The moment a patty is finished, slide it off the grill.
3. Build Station
Once the patty is perfectly grilled, you move to the Build Station. You use the customer’s order ticket to assemble the burger, placing the patty on the bun and adding all the specified toppings and condiments – lettuce, tomato, pickles, sauces, and more. Precision is key here; placing toppings unevenly results in point deductions. Finally, you secure the burger with the top bun and add any side items like fries or drinks.
4. Serve Station
The last step is serving the completed burger to the customer. They review the finished product based on the three criteria: Grill Time, Topping Placement, and Delivery Time. A happy customer will award you a high score and leave a generous tip. Unhappy customers may leave if they wait too long, punishing your score.
Tips and Tricks
Success in Papa’s Burgeria is all about maximizing efficiency and multitasking.
- Prepare Ahead (The Multi-Task Strategy): While the patty is grilling (a process that takes time), immediately move to the Build Station and start assembling the next burger’s base, or prepare toppings. You should rarely be idle.
- Upgrade Your Equipment: Use the money earned from tips and sales to purchase upgrades for your stations. Upgrading the grill, in particular, helps you cook patties faster and handle more orders simultaneously.
- Watch the Cooking Timer: This is non-negotiable. Overcooked patties are the single biggest score killer. Aim for that perfect light brown hue.
- Manage Impatient Customers: As the game progresses, customers become less patient. Try to prioritize orders from customers who have been waiting the longest to prevent them from leaving the restaurant entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.1: How do I ensure my burgers are cooked perfectly?
The key is to pay attention to the timer and the color change. Aim for a light brown color right as the timer is finished. If the burger cooks for too long, it will be dry and tough, leading to lower customer scores.
Q.2: Why are my customers leaving unhappy?
Customers leave unhappy for three main reasons: poor grill quality (overcooked/undercooked), inaccurate topping placement, or excessively long wait times for their order to be served.
