About the game

Desktop Hearth: Panda Canteen is an auto-cooking game in a strip at the bottom of your desktop. The panda chef tours the countryside with his cart — click a villager to take the job, and chopping, cooking and serving run themselves. Guests rate every dish; coins pile up on the table.

Original Steam description

Start with a Food Cart. Become a Legendary Chef!

Desktop Cooking: Panda Diner is an idle cooking and restaurant management game that lives right at the bottom of your desktop.

Join a panda chef on a culinary journey through the Chinese countryside. Travel with your food cart, click on villagers to accept their requests, and let your team handle the rest — chopping, stir-frying, serving, and delivering dishes are all automated.

Prepare traditional countryside feasts, including Ba Ba Banquets, Nine-Bowl Feasts, and many other regional Chinese dishes.

One Click to Hide, Zero Distractions

Need more room to work? Click the paw icon above the menu and the entire game will collapse into a tiny paw.

Your restaurant keeps running while hidden, so your progress never stops. Click the paw again whenever you want to bring the game back.

Work Hard, Cook Faster!

Whether you're coding, writing, or working at your computer, your keyboard and mouse activity powers up your panda chef.

The more you type and click, the faster your kitchen works — sending your chef into Super Chef Mode!

Enjoy an idle restaurant that grows alongside your work without getting in the way.

100 Dishes, 50 Stages, 40 Unique Characters

Cook and collect 100 dishes, complete 50 stages, and meet 40 different characters along your journey.

Each stage features a three-star rating system, giving you plenty of challenges and rewards to unlock.

Master Your Recipes and Create Legendary Golden Dishes

Improve your cooking proficiency and increase your chances of creating rare Golden Dishes.

Customers will leave positive or negative reviews depending on the quality of the food — but serve a legendary Golden Dish, and everyone will be impressed!

Upgrade your food cart, hire helpers, improve your kitchen, and work your way toward a feast worthy of Overwhelmingly Positive reviews!
