PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Resulting from a dedication to providing innovative and playful food and beverage programs, Denver-based Sage Restaurant Group (SRG) launches "Kitchen Rush," a mobile video game to engage fans of its popular Portland concept, Departure; a pan-Asian restaurant helmed by current Top Chef contestant, Gregory Gourdet.
Gameplay is simple: players swipe tiles to help a Chef Gregory avatar sling as many orders of Departure classics as possible before the time runs out. Repeating orders increases a multiplier, but watch out! Orders can get backed up if you're not fast enough. The concept is similar to the popular "Candy Crush" mobile game with players competing for the highest score. However, unlike most popular games, "Kitchen Rush" was created to reward players for their time and skill with real world incentives. Points can be redeemed at Departure for favorites like edamame, a smoked salmon roll, Departure wings and Brussels sprouts.
"With 'Kitchen Rush' we have something that will engage Departure customers by providing a fun look into busy kitchen life while simultaneously encouraging repeat business through game-earned dining incentives," says Departure's Jeff Brown.
Currently exclusive to Apple's App Store, "Kitchen Rush" will be updated regularly with new features and surprises, reflecting the playful nature of Chef Gregory and his restaurant.
