Restaurant Empire is a computer game where one gets to design, own, and operate, a restaurant. They control everything from the kind of cuisine they serve (American, French, or Italian) to what specific food they serve, to their staff. They have to keep guests happy and make money at the same time. It was created by Trevor Chan and is available only in the PC version.

The storyline is as follows:

You are Armand LeBeouf. You have just graduated from a French culinary school and are anxious to try your hand at running a restaurant. Your uncle, Michel LeBeouf, recently closed Treize Á Table (his restaurant) and is willing to give it to you if you prove yourself to be a good manager/chef. However, it's not exactly easy to do that. Omnifood, a global culinary conglomerate, controls over 60% of the world's restaurants and is rapidly growing. If you plan on being a successful restaurateur, you will need to be better than Omnifood.

There is also a sandbox mode which is basically freeform. There are no confines as there are in the storyline mode (a.k.a. regular mode) but there are no challenges either.
