Last thing we heard about iOS social mobile pioneer SGN was when it was acquired by MySpace co-founder Chris DeWolfe's MindJolt Games in April.

But the publisher, which was behind games such as Skies of Glory and F.A.S.T., has continued working away behind the scenes, and has just rebooted itself with social restaurant management title Mini Cafe.

Table for two?

As you'd expect, you start out cooking in tiny cafe, working your way up to be a restaurant mogul.

The key element are the dishes you prepare, while the decorations in your cafe help you build up loyal customers and celebrities diners. Serving them their favourite dishes gains you a signed photo on your cafe's Wall of Fame.

Obviously Facebook integration is another major part of the game, so you can invite your real friends to visit your cafe, getting them to post their photos on your Wall of Friends. In this way, building up your restaurant's reputation brings you more customers and allows you to unlock bigger and better items.

Mini Cafe, which was developed by SGN's Buenos Aires studio, is available now for iPhone and iPad and is free-to-play.
