About Automachef

Automachef is a resource-management puzzler that asks you to build kitchens smart enough to run themselves. You design the layout, position the machinery, and program every step until your culinary contraptions hum along like a well-oiled machine. The pitch is playful but the thinking is real: it's about engineering tomorrow's kitchens today.

The challenge lies in juggling spatial constraints, resource flow and scenario-specific problems. Short on hot dogs? You'll need to reroute your production. Kitchen catching fire? A clever human like you can handle it. Each puzzle nudges you to fine-tune your designs until everything clicks into place.

There's plenty of variety in how you play. Work through the campaign levels, build a reputation in the business-focused contracts mode, or loosen the rules entirely in the sandbox test mode and tinker to your heart's content. Tying it all together is a stream of quirky humour delivered by Robert Person, your enthusiastically misguided protagonist, who is definitely, absolutely a human and would rather you didn't ask. As an indie simulation on PC, it turns kitchen logistics into a genuinely charming brain-teaser.
