Find, Serve & Keep is a new match-3 restaurant game for iPhone and Android, out now in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. You solve match-3 puzzles, serve customers in quick time management rounds, and spend what you earn turning a hot dog stand into a restaurant empire.
Here is how the game works, who it is for, and where to download it.
What is Find, Serve & Keep?
Find, Serve & Keep combines three kinds of mobile game in one: a match-3 puzzle game, a serving game and a restaurant simulation. Each mode feeds the next. Puzzles earn coins and stars, coins and stars build the business, and the business changes the main character's life.
That main character is Travis. He is burned out on corporate life, so he buys a hot dog stand with no idea what he is doing. Your job is to help him grow it.
How does this match-3 restaurant game work?
Solve match-3 puzzles to earn coins and stars
The puzzles use the classic match-3 format with some modern twists. Match food items on the board, set off combos that light up the whole grid, and collect coins and stars on every win. There is a seemingly unlimited supply of puzzles, so you can play for two minutes or much longer.
Serve customers in time management rounds
As the business grows, service becomes the key to success. In the serving games you grill, build and hand over each order against the clock. Get every order out on time for a three-star finish and more coins. If you enjoy time management games, this part will feel familiar.
Build and design your restaurant empire
Stars pay for tasks that rebuild, redecorate and expand the business. In The Cart Area, that means rebuilding the fence, hanging the lights and expanding the seating. New areas let you choose floors, walls, tables and lighting, so a space can become a cozy corner café or a full karaoke lounge. As the business grows, you upgrade Travis's lifestyle too.
Use boosters and the daily spin
Stuck on a tough level? Pick your boosters before you play. You can also come back each day to spin the wheel for a bonus, or stock up in the in-game store when you need an extra push.
Is it a match-3 game or a restaurant game?
It is both, which is the point of a match-3 restaurant game. In a standard match-3 game, finishing a level mostly leads to the next level. Here, every win pays for something you can see: a new fence, more seating or better lighting. In a standard restaurant game, most of your time goes to taking orders. Here, the puzzle board is where you earn the stars that pay for the building, so the game moves between puzzle play and fast serving rounds.
What makes it different from other restaurant games?
Most restaurant games score you on speed and sales. Find, Serve & Keep also grades your brand. The BAM Meter, short for Brand Awareness Meter, scores Travis for the whole game. It drops when things go wrong or marketing gets neglected. You raise it the way a real business would: upgrade equipment, train your team and fix your marketing.
The game was designed from the start to teach business concepts as you play. Development began in 2021, and those lessons are still part of the game, tucked inside the puzzles and the serving.
