Before the customers arrive, you design the kitchen. After the customers arrive, you survive it. Then you do it again, in a new location, with new unlocks, building on what you learned from the previous run — until the restaurant empire you imagined starts to become the restaurant empire you actually have.

PlateUp! is a co-operative cooking and restaurant-building game that combines the chaos of Overcooked with the design depth of a factory builder. Each run begins with an empty restaurant in a procedurally generated location. Before service starts, players place every element of the kitchen: prep stations, cookers, counters, conveyor belts, sinks, plating stations and serving runs. The layout is entirely player-designed, and a well-optimised kitchen can clear a full service without anyone moving. A poorly designed one will collapse in the first rush. Between runs, a roguelite progression system unlocks new dishes, appliances, restaurant themes and decorations, with blueprint cards offering branching choices that shape each run's direction. The building phase is as important as the service phase, rewarding both spatial planning and in-the-moment coordination. Up to four players co-operate online or locally. Steam Workshop enables community-created blueprints and cosmetics.

Key Features: • Design the kitchen before service: place every appliance, conveyor and counter yourself • Roguelite progression: unlock new dishes, appliances and themes between runs • Procedurally generated restaurant locations - blueprint card upgrade choices
