Is this game worth buying?

Is this game worth buying? I love games like Chocolatier, Diner Dash and Virtual Villagers. I am hoping it is along the lines-ish of Chocolatier. Could you give me a brief description of how the game works so that I can get a feel for it? I'd be super grateful.

Thanks

I really liked this game. It's not exactly like Chocolatier, DD, or Virtual Villagers. It's more like a business sim.

It's not turn-based but it is scenario-based, although each scenario runs into the next scenario. You can pause the game and build/set up your restaurant or let it run. Basically, you set up a restaurant (tables, kitchen, staff, menu, etc) and let it run to try to make money. While it's running, you interact with customers to unlock recipes and deal with customer complaints. In most scenarios, you will also need to compete in cooking challenges. These challenges have a simple, kind of arcade like, component. But you don't actually do any chopping or anything. As you own more and more restaurants, you have a busier time managing them trying to reach the scenario goals, which are typically profit/revenue goals along with winning cooking competitions. There is a story-line but it's really straight forward and you can't screw it up. Any dialogue choice you pick will get you where you're supposed to go.

So, it's not like Chocolatier where the storyline has you "travel" and you buy/sell or anything. The general point of the game is to manage your restaurants so they make profit while you go through the storyline. There are no "puzzles" to unlock like in VV. There's also no micromanagement mouse-clicking like in DD (except for one scenario...). All in all, if you don't use a walkthrough and try to solve the game yourself, you'll get lots of hours out of this. First time I played it, I got 100 hours out of it, which is a steal considering how much this game costs on BF.
