Game Introduction
The game has an amusing cast of characters. The player character is a chef called Peter Pepper and the enemy characters are Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Pickle and Mr. Egg.
Game Play
Peter Pepper must assemble four giant burgers while avoiding deadly hot dogs, eggs and pickles.
Peter Pepper has to move from ramp to ramp by way of ladders and walk across the burger fixings on each of the ramps including buns, beef patties, lettuce leaves and occasionally tomato slices and cheese slices.
Walking across each of the burger fixings will cause each of them to fall downward to each of the lower ramps until they reach the plates at the bottom of the screen. All four burgers must be assembled to advance to the next stage.
Peter Pepper can stop the pursuing hot dogs, eggs and pickles by peppering them, so they will be stunned and become temporarily harmless, but Peter Pepper has limited pinches of pepper, so the pepper should be used wisely.
Peter Pepper can pick up additional pinches of pepper by getting bonus items that will temporarily appear on occasion including ice cream cones, french fries and cups of coffee.
The pursuers can also be crushed by one of the falling burger fixings whenever they are directly underneath them. The pursuers can also be descended on one of the falling burger fixings whenever they walk onto them, they will also give the burger fixings extra weight that will cause them to fall farther down.
No matter how the pursuers are stopped, they will continue to go after Peter Pepper until he finishes assembling the burgers. Afterwards, he will proceed to the following stage.

Trivia
The instructions on both the cabinet and the screens do not say that the restaurant in the game has a name. Some references say that the name of the restuarant is BurgerTime, just like the game itself, but other references say that the restaurant can be McDonald's, Burger King, Jack-In-The-Box, Wendy's, Whataburger or any other famous fast-food franchise that serves burgers. The game itself never mentions that the restaurant where the game takes place even has a name.
Cabinet Information
In addition to the regular upright for this game, the game was also released in a cocktail model.
