Minechef
by kino_a
Minechef lets players open a restaurant in the world, with a board, a cash register and a portal for customers to arrive through.
What it does
Players set down the restaurant board and cash register, then add items to the board so customers begin to arrive. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, only for 1.20.1, and both the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public.
Key features
Restaurant setup
A restaurant is built from a board, a cash register and a portal that customers come through.
Customers and menu
Adding an item to the board starts customers coming in, so the menu drives the flow of visitors.
Hired staff
Players can recruit cashiers who serve customers and fridges and cooks who craft food.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
How it compares
Restaurant Trade is also a Forge and NeoForge option, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, with the client and server environment and an All rights reserved license, so it is not open source. RestaurantCraft runs on the server alone for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under All rights reserved. Minechef is the one with a specific build for 1.20.1 and an MIT License.

What the author says
For a minimal restaurant, place down a restaurant board, a cash register, a restaurant portal. Then add an item in the restaurant board, then customer will start coming. You will then be able to recruit employees. Recruit a cashier to serve customers from plate and fridge, and a cook to craft food.
