Players gained experience by cooking and serving dishes. There were a variety of menu items, each differing in price, number of servings, and preparation time.

Gameplay

The staff in the restaurant was made up of zombies. The restaurant's customers could be transformed into zombies to serve food and collect dirty plates, but the player needed to avoid overworking their zombies. If their Energy levels became too low, they would start attacking customers, lowering the café's rating. A low-Energy zombie needed to rest for a period of time; alternatively, the player could instantly replenish the zombie's Energy levels with a currency called Toxin.

Dishes were the main source of income in Zombie Cafe. Dishes varied by cooking time, cost, number of servings, and number of Experience points given. By raiding other cafés, players could loot prepared dishes and unlock new recipes. Dishes looted from rival cafés would appear in the player's fridge, from which they could either be served or used to unlock new recipes.

Zombie Cafe had received positive reviews since its release. The game received 9.0 out of 10 in App Store customer ratings and Appolicious. HiTPhone gave it 8.0, Gamezebo's Jim Squires gave it a 7.0. Slide To Play and GameRankings gave it a lower score of 5.0 out of 10.
