A 30-day fast-food simulation

Can You Run a Fast-Food Restaurant for 30 Days?

A burger restaurant with a counter, a drive-thru and a tablet that beeps with delivery orders. Fast food lives or dies at noon: how many orders your crew, kitchen and lane can push through in the lunch and dinner rushes. You pick the brand, the site, the menu, the kitchen and every crew hour. Then four weeks of no-shows, inspectors, rival deals, broken fryers and a football final.

How it plays

  1. Week 1 · Opening week — Set up your burger restaurant
  2. Week 2 · The first normal week — Tune the kitchen and the schedule
  3. Week 3 · Rivals and buzz — Answer the competition
  4. Week 4 · The final stretch — Finish the month

After the debrief, “Keep going — 3 more months” continues the run with calendar events, new challenges and opportunities that build on what you chose earlier. Every decision page has a live preview that shows what your picks do to the numbers before you lock them in.

What you get at the end

A debrief with your outcome, charts of where the money went, your biggest mistake and roughly what it cost, and a full report you can copy or save as a PDF. Everything runs in your browser: no sign-up, nothing to install.
