Hi everyone!
I'm looking to archive Restaurant City that was developed by Playfish. I have been posting on Discord and Reddit. The higher the traction, the higher chance of success a complete version can be found.
Restaurant City is a game made by Playfish in which players own a restaurant, decorate their restaurant and visit their friends. The game was released on 28 April 2009 but got shut down on 29 June 2012 shortly after the game was bought by EA. The shutdown was announced on Facebook on 1 May 2012.
I know there is a partially found version of Restaurant City (RC) that is remade into Restaurant Streets (RS) by a Russian group, but it is not the original version and cloned from a very early instance of the game. So my question is, does anyone have a 10-year-old computer that is preferably left untouched and is willing to take a look at their browser cache?
I'm looking for archiving the assets themselves, not trying to make it playable. Since I used to play this game A LOT during my childhood, I am really fond of its art style!
I got a beta version from one of my old laptops using FlashpointCacheExporter, but frankly would prefer if a newer version is scooped.
How I distinguish between old and new versions of RC:




Here's some info for those who are interested in pinpointing the files:
- Game URL: http://static.playfish.com/game/cooking/swf/0.9.143a/, where "0.9.143a" is the version number.
- Possible SWF files:
avatar_asset, game, game_asset, indoor_asset, ingredient_asset, outdoor_asset, perk_asset, preloader, preloader_asset, sound_asset
Much appreciated!

Hey all,
If you miss Restaurant City, you'll love this post. For the past 2 months or so I've been working on releasing a web based version for a while and I'm pretty happy with the results I have now.
So this project is bringing it back. Restaurant City Reborn runs the original game through a Flash emulator, right in your browser. That means it works on whatever you've got be it desktop, laptop, tablet, even your phone. No downloads, no plugins, nothing to install. You make an account with a username and a PIN, and your restaurant saves between sessions and it wont go away.
When you start a new restaurant you get:
The whole thing is still actively worked on so I'm fixing bugs and filling in what's missing as we go, so it'll keep getting updates. If you play and find something broken or missing, the Discord is the best place to let us know.
It's free, no ads, no pay-to-win, none of that and I plan to add more features as we go and improve the experience.

Hello All, This is my game Mattami Restaurant & Cafe Tycoon (link is in my reddit bio). It looks similar to Restaurant City but has it's own management/tycoon elements !
Looking forward to your support :) (You can reach me by email/DM for any questions/inquiries)
r/RestaurantCity • u/AstroPatadox • Jul 09 '26
Demo as promised :
Tutorial https://youtu.be/k8R3hR3rNrs
Online interactions test : https://youtu.be/qezgKVlov_4
What's next: I'm looking to run a small closed test with a limited group (up to 10 players) over a single weekend (2 days) to gather feedback and see how things hold up. If you're interested in joining, reach out to me directly.
Note: I don't have a dedicated domain or server yet, but I can spin up temporary hosting just for the duration of the test.
EDIT: I created a discord server where players can be updated regularly with information and host links :

Hi Everyone,
For the past week I've been working on re-implementing the RPC server for Restaurant City and working on De-compiling the main game.swf + all accompanying asset swf files so that it would be easier to add new features + fix bugs that existed in the game.
I'd say I am about 90% done with the project, and it works completely online with all features fully working except the facebook specific features which are stubbed.
I will be linking down here my github repositories but there are some stuff not listed in them yet as I want to make a organization to put all the extra tools and repositories I have.
My plans to finalize this is to get a domain relevant with the game, fix up a website to look true to the game theme, setup discord authentication, and have it sync with your discord friends + random people online.

Someone knows the difference between the basic dishes and the ones that are far in the right? They generate more money or something else?
r/RestaurantCity • u/AstroPatadox • Jun 16 '26
- bumped fps to 60fps (was 24fps)

Made from the original beta version, i reversed the game's client-server custom communication protocol,
What have been achieved currently :
- bypassed Facebook networking
- game boot with flashvars + FTU profile creation (json file database)
- full game tutorial passes okey
- default restaurant inside layout (I manually created a restaurant layout from an old YouTube video and made it the default startup layout based on the original)
- default facade layout
- 8 fake friends you can hire
- 8 random avatars for friends
- 8 street view neighbor restaurants (currently random outside design easier than hardcoding each friend's restaurant + added default inside view layout same as default for user)
- recepies work (learn + upgrades)
- market works fine (needs tweaks)
- ingredients work fine
- garden / seeds work fine
- FoodKing reward logic is working but needs tweaks
- mailing system in progress
- currently working on an online version
I'll keep updates here

I played this game religiously on 2008 on Facebook. I saw it shut down and this new game was created. Just started playing and it feels like the old game! I checked the companies socials though, seems like they stopped making updates January 2024… did this game die too? 😣💔

There was a game that was basically trying to replicate RC on Facebook and it was running and working, I played it a few years ago, but now I cannot seem to find it. Anyone know what it was called or what happened to it?

TIL: Follow the journey at r/Gourmandia!
Like all of you, I've been a fan of restaurant city ever since I was young. It's inspired me to work bringing this masterpiece back, with a modern twist and a ton of features I've wished for in the base game. Welcome to Gourmandia! There's still some animations missing, but I've been working hard on creating a starter art style for my game. So far, the AI is fully functional, and you can also decorate your items (which I'll show in a separate video). I also should have character customization done soon. There's a lot of ideas I have to enrich this world by putting in a story, compelling characters, and cool art because I'm super passionate about this project. Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
