Burger Bounty is a time-management, restaurant-simulation game. The player opens a burger joint in the United States that features an open-floor dining area, a serving bar and a cash wrap and a separate kitchen with grilling and dishwashing areas. They must initially fill all roles in the business, including chef and server, until they can build up their clientele and revenues and expand the business.
The player uses their bank balance to buy a table with two chairs and unlock the grill area. They then direct their avatar to move quickly between the various restaurant work stations and zones. They must deal with VIP "star" customers that demand the highest customer-service standards. Unlike similar games, cash doesn't pile up at the register. If the player fails to perform their cashier duties fast enough, they receive less cash than normal or no money at all.
Over time, Burger Bounty allows the player to upgrade their carry capacity, install more tables and chairs, unlock a drink fountain, and hire staff. If the player watches advertisements, they can earn additional money and perform upgrades more often. They can use their revenues to renovate the restaurant with props, new flooring and wallpaper. Decorative items include a vase, a flower, a penguin, a cat statue, Egyptian antiques, an anchor, a Chinese red lantern, a guitar, a burger statue and a fire extinguisher.
