Game Play
Burger Shop has four game modes: Story Mode, Challenge Mode, Expert Mode, and Relax Mode. Story Mode is the main portion of the game and consists of 80 levels and 8 restaurants. As the player progresses, they can unlock new ingredients and upgrades to use and new customers will appear.

An individual level in Story Mode requires the the player to serve a predetermined number of customers, with the goal of earning a specified amount of money. Each customer has certain quirks and food preferences that differentiate them from other customers. Customers have varying levels of patience, which dictates how long a customer will wait before leaving. After paying, each customer will rank the service from 0-5 stars, depending on how much patience they have left. Getting five stars for every customer in a level will earn the player a bonus, which increases in amount as the player progresses in the game.

Challenge Mode and Relax Mode are unlocked after completing 10 levels. Both modes allow the player to pick a restaurant as a location, with available ingredients being limited based on location. Challenge Mode has the player serve customers until they lose a customer. Over time, customers grow impatient at a faster rate, increasing the challenge. Relax Mode allows the player to serve customers at their own pace, as customers will not leave no matter how long the player takes. Both Challenge and Expert Mode will take breaks after the player serves a certain amount of customers.

Expert Mode is available after the player has completed Story Mode. Expert Mode features 80 more levels, with all ingredients available regardless of location. Each level has more customers to serve compared to story mode.

In some versions of the game, an additional mode, Extreme Mode, is available after beating Expert Mode. In Extreme Mode, the player must provide five star service to all customers.
