Burger Shop is a simulation game with a race-to-the-finish-line element. The player works in a burger shop along a busy street in a city. Their job requires that they accurately build burgers quickly to the satisfaction of the customers and complete orders that might include sides like a beverage, fries or ice cream. They must also collect payment for the food in the form of gold coins.
The player receives an order on a whiteboard that depicts hamburger ingredients. They must build the burger before the customer becomes angry. A round is timed via a bar timer at the top left corner of the screen. The player must attempt to complete as many burgers as possible. If they fail to select the right ingredient for their build, they must start over. They can determine the mood of the customer by checking the color of the liquid in a horizontal tube to the left of the board.
Burger Shop offers three game modes (Chef Championship, Career and Time Attack) across three worlds. The player must earn a certain number of stars in the first world to unlock the rest.
In Chef Championship mode, they make a unique burger and compete with other chefs. After they complete a competition, they must wait at least two hours before they can compete again. In Career mode, they perform tasks that include building a certain number of burgers and making a certain amount of money. Eventually, they unlock and buy boosters. With Time Attack, they must follow the build recipes quickly.
