Cook and Decorate (stylized Cook & Decorate) is a food-service and restaurant simulation and time management game with a decorating theme. It is set in the same world as Cooking Frenzy and features one of the main characters from that game (i.e., Olivia). Instead of selling food and beverages from a food truck to earn the in-game currency needed to decorate the main public areas of the Rock City Bar & Grill, the player performs similar tasks to decorate and upgrade the restaurant's kitchen.
The player buys the tools they need to open up their food area, including a juice maker and cutting-board-style plates. Over the course of the first couple of levels, they sell glasses of juice, chicken legs, steaks, bowls of soup, fries, onion rings, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans and rice.
The restaurant's wait staff and Olivia pick up the plates to serve customers seated outdoors. The player has only a little over a minute to perform their assigned task. They earn coins and stars when they succeed. They then use the coins to buy more equipment for the restaurant and the stars to decorate the kitchen with various items, including plants, a refrigerator, a rug and a plate cabinet. They receive three color and style options from each decoration category.
Cook and Decorate isn't an overly complicated game. As with Cooking Frenzy, the player must cook and serve the food before cooking timers run out to indicate burnt food or the wait staff timers run out to indicate frustrated and angry workers.
