Help Hello Kitty manage her dream café.

Keep guests happy and entertained to earn more money.

See who manages the café better among your friends.

A quick search at Play Store’s of Hello Kitty apps will reveal several resource management games, with a handful cafe and restaurant themes in the mix. This makes it a challenge to stand out, but Hello Kitty Dream Cafe has more than enough chops to keep fans and players entertained and occupied regardless of whether they are spending minutes while commuting or lounging away at home.

Fans will definitely appreciate the attention to detail while restaurant management regulars will welcome the progression and speed. The game also provides a satisfying story, providing additional motivation to further improve your own restaurant.

The game begins with Hello Kitty being congratulated by Dear Daniel on her newly opened cafe. This also serves as the player’s tutorial session. The restaurant setup starts simple: a waiting area, one table for meat, a salad bar, drinks station, and cashier.

Basic gameplay is to drag a customer to a specific table depending on their request as represented by a thought bubble. This bubble will then change to an exclamation point, which needs to be tapped before a crew can attend to their orders. Like most restaurant games, the challenge is to get all customers seated and fed in a fast manner. Fortunately players are allowed to hire assistants to allow more customers, leading to higher profits.

Fans will be delighted to find that many of their favorite characters are present in the game. These include Cinnnamoroll, My Melody, and Kero Keroppi, among many others. At first the game will randomly provide you an assistant, but as you earn more gold coins, you can personally hire a particular character of your choice. You can also choose to spend your profit by upgrading tables or even buying new food products. Other options include upgrading characters’ customer service skills, which will make them more efficient. One option is to even make customers more patient as the cafe gets more crowded.

There is also Facebook integration so that you can play with friends and compare scores. Players can also spend coins for a raffle draw, which would provide random free character upgrades. Real money is still involved in order to buy crates of gold coins, gems, or even hearts, which can be spent on more upgrades, though there is a way to progress without the need to purchase.

Fans will definitely welcome the pinpoint accuracy of illustrations, from the whiskers of Hello Kitty to the eyes of Keroppi. Attention to detail is also present in other aspects like the transition to the menus, all matching the Hello Kitty design language. One curious decision, in turn, was to change the look of the restaurant, specifically the floors and the wallpapers. Thankfully this has no effect on the patience of the customers or the Cube.

In summary, despite having to claw its way amidst a bevy of Hello Kitty games, Hello Kitty Dream Cafe provides more than enough to keep players entertained, and it definitely satisfies fans of both the genre and Sanrio characters in particular.
