PlateUp! β co-op cooking that turns into a restaurant roguelike
PlateUp! takes the familiar chaos of co-op cooking and stitches it onto a restaurant-management roguelike. You don't just fry and serve against a timer β you build the place from scratch: lay out tables, plan the routes between stove, sink and counter, and every new in-game day adds a dish to the menu and more guests to the floor. One bad layout choice and a smoothly running shift collapses into panic. Here you buy the full game as a Steam gift, delivered straight to your account by our bot.
What the game is and why it hooks you
PlateUp! was made by It's Happening β originally a solo project by Alastair Janse van Rensburg, released under publisher Yogscast Games on August 4, 2022. The genre is hard to pin to one word: it's a restaurant simulator built around roguelike runs. You start with an empty room and one simple dish, grind shift after shift, and between days you decide what to upgrade β new appliances, a bigger dining room, a kitchen overhaul. Progress isn't linear: every run is a chain of choices that either form a tidy assembly line or buckle under a flood of orders.
The core idea is that your restaurant carries over and grows between days. How you arranged the kitchen yesterday decides whether you survive tomorrow, when there are more dishes and less patient guests. That's why PlateUp! is equally about fast hands and cold-headed planning.
Co-op for up to four cooks
PlateUp! supports 1β4 players, and it shines most in a group. With four people you naturally split roles: someone cooks, someone runs plates, someone washes dishes and puts out fires both literal and figurative. The more dishes on the menu, the more it matters that your team isn't bumping into each other in tight aisles β which again comes back to how you designed the kitchen. You can also play solo: difficulty scales, you just wear every hat yourself.
If you're into the kitchen co-op genre, check out Overcooked! 2 and Overcooked! All You Can Eat β those lean into pure level chaos, while PlateUp! adds building and long-term progression. Fans of cramped-space teamwork will also enjoy Moving Out.
What's in the gift
You get the full version of PlateUp! with nothing cut. The game has no separate paid DLC you need to buy on top: all the core content and the free updates released over its support window are already in the base game. That means once you receive the gift you won't have to pay extra for the "real" version β this is it.
- The full PlateUp! game added to your Steam library β permanently, owned by your account.
- All modes: solo and co-op for up to four players, online and local.
- Free developer updates already baked into the current version.
How we deliver the gift
Delivery goes through Steam Gift. In the order fields you provide your Steam friend invite link and your account region. After payment, our bot adds itself as your friend and sends the gift β this usually takes a couple of minutes. You don't need to accept the friend request: the bot handles everything and automatically leaves your friends list once delivery is done.
One important detail: for Steam to accept the gift, your account region must match the gift region, and the account must not already own PlateUp!. Steam won't let you accept a gift for a game you already have β that's the most common reason a gift fails. Steam Guard is not required to receive the gift, but your profile settings must allow adding friends.
If something goes wrong
If the bot couldn't add you as a friend, it's almost always a closed profile or an expired invite link. Check your profile privacy (friend requests must be allowed), generate a fresh link, and message us β we'll help finish the delivery. Hiccups in services like this are rare, but if something gets stuck we try to sort it out quickly.
Who PlateUp! is for
PlateUp! is for people who like their cheerful mayhem to have depth. If you enjoy planning, optimizing and watching your restaurant evolve from a cramped little kitchen into a well-oiled machine β while shouting with friends under a rush of orders β this is your game. It's also a great excuse to gather a crew for the evening: the difficulty curve pulls you in gently, and every run feels fresh.
