PlateUp! Beginner's Guide

PlateUp! combines chaotic kitchen and restaurant management with strategic planning and development to create a delightful roguelite dish unlike any other.

Up to four players build and run a restaurant from scratch, choosing dishes, buying and placing appliances – some of which can be daisy-chained together to create ambitious automatic kitchens – cooking food and serving customers.

Players have free rein to design their restaurant which will expand and develop between shifts – with additional content and challenges unlocked through progression.

Can you cook, serve and manage your way through 15 hectic days in your restaurant and unlock a brand-new franchise?

* Classic co-op cooking action, with a wide selection of mains, sides, sauces, toppings, desserts, and starters.
*Choose your equipment, lay out your kitchen, curate your menu and plate up your dishes.
*From bubbling soups to sublime salads, tender steaks to hearty pies, there's something for everyone.

*Look after front-of-house: seating customers, delivering orders, and managing patience.
*Equip your restaurant to handle the most fickle of customers and deliver them what they need, right when they need it.
*Co-operate with your team like a well-olive-oiled machine or build a name for yourself going it alone.
*Exceed your goals and take your franchise to greater heights at a new location, bringing with you new unlocks and upgrade.

*Upgrade and rearrange your restaurant to your personal taste: when the restaurant closes for the day, the planning begins!
*Decide what new equipment to purchase, and place it wherever you want.
*Want to go high-tech? Install the turbo-ovens, crank up the conveyors, and make way for the robo-kitchen of the future.
*Fancy something a little more... fancy? Curate your art collection, fix up that wallpaper, enlist a friend as a maître d' and get ready to provide the culinary experience of a lifetime.

*Exceed your goals and start over at your next location, bringing with you new unlocks and upgrades.
*Tailor your brand towards gourmet dining, or fine-tune your fast food franchise.
*Every restaurant is procedurally-generated with its own climate, customers and conditions.
*Return to your franchise HQ to view your achievements, customise your characters and upgrade your kit, ready for your next adventure!

Crazy how I feel like I know this game so well and only 15 minutes in I’ve managed to learn stuff that after months of playing I never realised 😂

[withtheks]

thank god for you because i literally couldn’t even figure out how to start playing 😂

[SharkBruce]

I'm only <8 hours in and I'm so glad I learned all the research stuff. I never figured out what it does and how to work it. Glad I learned it here! Thanks a lot!

Congrats on creating the official guide for Plate Up! Thanks to your previous videos I've been able to get to OT32. Very informative and relaxing to watch you play and teach.

[Grimm-reefer]

Incredibly informative, thanks for the tips! Hopefully with this new info i'll finally make it past day 8 as a solo.

[randogrils]

your videos are really relaxing and nice thanks for the wholesome content and tutorials

[jonathanluna]

This was great, exactly what I needed to understand the basics of this game. Thank you for putting this out!

[carsonwong]

I am new to the game and I am honestly quite surprise when seeing you using one research desk to upgrade 3 blurprints. I thought you can only use the desk one time per day. Thanks for the tips and they help me a lot.

Just discovered this game on Xbox game pass and I am hooked!!

[georginaatkins]

Saving this video for later! I am sure it will be very informative though!

[SebastianRentsch]

Its driving me crazy that you rotated the fridge in the wrong direction 🤣🤣🤣
Anyway thanks for the video 😀

[ace_roller]

Very well done, Ontario! Loved the guide and all the information. So happy you got to be a part of this wonderful game in such a big way. Keep up the awesome job and keep these videos coming <3

[millienexu]

when "beginner" is 5 steps too advanced for you... somehow I'm always flopping in the steps in between!!

[FristCat]

wow your videos are really nice for Beginner's player and easy to Learn

[heribertogonzalez]

Thx a lot y fill really dumb, was playing around 15min cooking for the cats 😂 then I watched this guide…

[heatherjolly]

I can barely make it past day 6.. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Serving across the counter is great and the wash basin but I'm still confused

I just started the game on ps4. I don't know if the version is different or the game has been updated, but all my layout options include another little room and comes with 2 tables, and the little room is usually the only way to get from the dining room to the kitchen so I tend to set up my kitchen in the little room since I'm playing alone. The serving hatch is only ever a length of 2 as well. Once I hit level 3 or 4 I started getting kitchens with a door linking straight to the dining area which was much better.

I came by because I was curious if there was a guide for everything since the game doesn't explain a lot very clearly. The tutorial shows you how to cook which you can already practice on your own, but doesn't tell you what the filing cabinet is. It took me a while to figure out what it was for.

The issue is finding a good map. I could try entering the seed you have right now, and it wouldn't work, likely due to a new update or the fact it's shown in all caps despite there being lowercase letters, and they both produce different results.

[diversitydiversity-rn]

curious would heated mixer cook a steak instead of chopping it first though?

[savvamon]

do you have a video on automation and the gadgets with their upgrades in general? im stuggling to progress from beginer to intermidiate
