Patch 1.1.7b
- Fixed issue where old saved runs could not be loaded in some cases
- Fixed bug with lemon cake hat
- Fixed issue where some types of cake were offered incorrectly
- Fixed seeded run display on maps in the lobby
- Fixed colour blind mode text showing up when it shouldn't
Patch Notes 1.1.7
Features
- Added a new Bakery gamemode, where you can bake a variety of exciting things. In this new mode, your customers only order a flavour - it's up to you to decide what to make them. Start with chocolate cookies and work your way up to 3 flavours in 5 varieties!
- Coffee now a base dish. You now have access to coffee as a dish in the headquarters that you can start a run with on any map type, and enjoy your laid-back cafe in any setting. You can now also franchise coffee normally and use the Variety card to create the restaurant-coffee shop of your dreams!
- New cosmetic UI. The outfit selection mirror in the bedrooms has been upgraded, allowing you to browse the full range of cosmetics before choosing what to wear.
- New cosmetics, new player colours. To give you an excuse to use the new mirror, we've added a new set of pastel colours to choose from. To celebrate PlateUp's anniversary we've also added a new set of party hats, including a candle and a sparkler.
- New dish stats on cards. To help you make the most important decisions in your restaurant career, we've added a new info panel at the bottom of dish cards, showing you how difficult the recipe is, how long it takes customers to eat, and how much they pay for each portion
Balance
- Dishes can now have a per-dish eating time. Most dishes are still set to the default for now, but coffee has a longer eating time than other dishes and some cakes have different eating times. This is shown on the card when you select it
- Stuffing is now -30% customers (rather than -15%)
Fixes
- Items that are shared are now only drawn for one customer while being eaten
- Improved quality of all UI panels
- Improved snapshots system and dish icons
- Tweaked pot stack to look less like a counter when empty
- Added a snowflake icon to the freezer and frozen prep station blueprints to make them clearer
- Fixed a bug where desserts could sometimes stop being ordered
- Added more slots in the practice kitchen for recipes with lots of ingredients
PlateUp! Anniversary Update! Free Weekend! And best-ever 50% discount
We are back with some very exciting news, a highest-ever 50% discount and free weekend
To celebrate one year since PlateUp!'s launch, we're pleased to introduce the 'Anniversary Update'! You will now be able to serve up cookies, cakes, and more on the brand new Bakery map type!
Coffee has been included as a base dish and can be selected in the lobby - and now you can franchise it with other meals to build your ultimate restaurant.
We've also added a new interface for choosing cosmetics so you can browse through to find what you want - including a new set of party hats and a wider range of player colours!
If you or your friends are still on the fence about picking up PlateUp! you will have the opportunity to try it for free this weekend (until Monday the 7th) - and you can pick it up for a huge 50% saving until Thursday the 10th.
And there's never been a better time to buy, as we'll be raising the base price of the game by a couple of Dollars once the current discount ends. The new pricing will reflect the hard work that has gone into PlateUp! over the previous year and allow us to continue to support the game as its community grows.
Thank you for your support over the past year - we've been honestly humbled by our players and their passion for the game. Lots more to come - plus we'll soon be welcoming PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch players into the kitchen. More news on the exact date soon.

PlateUp! Coffee Shop Update now live - with a 40% Discount for the Summer Sale
We are back with another exciting update to kick off the Steam Summer Sale complete with a 40% discount!
Introducing the PlateUp! Coffee Shop update! - Serve up a variety of coffee orders to the caffeine crazed customers. Nothing beats the feeling of a family run Coffee shop, so bring your friends! With a 40% discount for the entire Steam Summer sale there has never been a better time to pick up PlateUp!
Keep reading for an overview of what you can expect from this latest update!
Features
- New Coffee Shop mode - Take a break from the turbo lifestyle and relax as a barista in this update's gamemode. Keep it simple with black coffees or go all the way with 8 new unique coffee upgrade cards. The coffee shop mode, available on the daily and weekly boards, introduces a calmer way to play PlateUp. Customers will make less mess, won't need prompting for their orders, and will take their time drinking their coffee.
- Turbo added as standard option - You can now select turbo mode from the selector in the lobby and play it on any layout. We've also tweaked it so that you'll no longer be offered additional base dishes, so you can focus on the dish you bring in.
- Join codes for Open lobbies - For people looking to play Open games, a new join code system has been added. You can view the join code for your lobby in the multiplayer menu, and share it with friends to let them join. You can join someone via a join code either on the main menu or in the multiplayer menu ingame.
- Speedrunning tweaks - Thanks to all the feedback from the speedrunning community, we've made some changes based on your suggestions:
- Speedrun dishes are now selected from the full pool of dishes rather than a fixed set. This also means you can get the chance to play dishes you haven't unlocked yet
- You can no longer bring garage items into speedruns. While this reduces some strategy, it prevents players having to grind garage content in order to compete in speedruns. Any items placed in the loadout will be returned to the garage.
- For general speedrunning on standard maps, the speedrun timer can now be turned on for every map in the game options.
- Twitch orders no longer apply in speedruns, which gave an unintended advantage to people using it.
- Using mods at any point marks it as modded speedrun, so your run will be tracked but won't count on global leaderboards.
- New Clipboard Stand appliance - A long-requested appliance, the clipboard stand provides a new tool that helps you use desks faster by hitting the desk with a clipboard (not based on actual advice)
- Hob upgrades now rotate - Upgrading a Danger Hob will lead to a Safety Hob and vice versa.
- Exiting the game on the postgame screen will leave your save intact, preventing cases where players would miss out on rewards and XP if they quit too early. Quitting on the franchise creation screen will still lose your new franchise, but we're looking at better ways to handle this as well.
Balance
- Pizza toppings now reduce customer amounts.
- Hot dogs now have a smaller customer increase.
- Post-game garage rewards have been reworked into new tiers, with the new highest tier for reaching overtime. Reward sets have been adjusted to give appropriate rewards.
- Some cleaning appliances have been tweaked:
- The robot buffer is now slower and cannot buff dirty tiles.
- Players are no longer slowed while holding mops, and the fast mop is now faster.
- Having more dish extras (such as Ketchup and Mustard) now increases the chance customers will ask for one - this is particularly important in coffee shops.
- Progress on research desks now resets correctly at the end of the day.
- Conveyors can now resupply consumables by delivering supplies (this applies to things like napkins and the new milk frother).
Fixes
- Trainers are now disabled by water correctly
- Shoes now also spread water
- Nut roast is now available as an upgrade to turkey
- The active card view and recipe view now wrap
- Lobby colour pickers now cycle both ways
- Level progress can now be seen in the lobby before unlocking the stats room
- Fixed a bug where Turkish and Korean recipes were incorrect
- Fixed a bug where joining a game from the menu could prevent profile from loading correctly
- Fixed a bug where having too few possible staples in the shop could result in losing some blueprints
- Fixed medium layouts not appearing correctly
- Fixed the rotation of food being eaten by customers
- Fixed some cases where the game would require you to have a sink when you didn't need it
- Abandoning broken saves in the lobby now removes them correctly
- Fixed a bug where cosmetics, keybinds and player colours would not be carried into multiplayer correctly
- Fixed a bug where loading a run could cause issues with level progression
- Improved handling of progression loading to prevent cases where progress could be lost
- Fixed a bug where the stats room was unlocking at level 7 rather than 6 as displayed
- Fixed a bug where items dropped by disconnecting in the lobby would be stuck in the map
- Fixed a visual issue with one of the meat fridges
- Improved Japanese fonts
