Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“FirstPlate is launching in Early Access so we can keep improving and expanding the game with player feedback while the core experience is already fully playable. Career progression, co-op, multiple modes, and the ingredient and menu systems are all in place. Early Access gives us room to balance gameplay, polish multiplayer, and continue adding new menus and content in a way that feels right based on how people actually play the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect FirstPlate to be in Early Access for around 6–12 months. The exact length will depend on feedback, balance, and overall player experience. We plan to leave Early Access once the game feels complete and stable across all modes.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During Early Access, we plan to continue building on what’s already there. This includes expanding content across all modes, adding more menus, ingredients, and progression, improving Competitive mode, and making ongoing balance and quality-of-life improvements. Multiplayer stability, and overall performance will also be a major focus leading up to the full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“FirstPlate’s Early Access version is playable now and includes the core gameplay and systems. The game currently features Career, Endless, and Versus(Competitive) modes, full co-op support, six complete menu stacks with over 50 ingredients, and an active progression system. Versus mode is playable and will continue to be developed and refined during Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“FirstPlate will be priced lower during Early Access to reflect its current state. As new content and features are added, we plan to increase the price over time, with the full release priced higher than Early Access. Players who join during Early Access will receive all updates through the full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We’ll be using Steam Discussions and our Discord server to gather feedback, track issues, and discuss changes with players. Community input will help guide balance changes, improvements, and future content. We’ll also share updates and development progress as the game evolves.”

About This Game

Design, build, and manage your own restaurant in a simulation where your layout choices are just as important as your cooking skills.

Start with a small kitchen and a few basic appliances. Your goal is to grow into a massive establishment capable of serving dozens of tables simultaneously without collapsing under the weight of your own ambition.

BUILD & CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING

There are no preset kitchens here. You have total control over your restaurant's footprint and design.

  • Infinite Expansion: Buy land and expand your floor plan without limits. Whether you want a compact corner bistro or a sprawling banquet hall, the choice is yours.

  • Total Control: Place every wall, floor tile, and appliance exactly where you want it. Design an efficient assembly line to minimize walking distance, or build a chaotic maze—if you can build it, you can run it.

CURATE YOUR MENU

You decide what goes on the pass.

  • Menu Selection: You pick the "Menu Stack." Run a classic burger joint one day, switch to a high-end steakhouse the next, or pivot to pizzas, breakfast, and more!

  • Adapt Your Kitchen: Different menus require different tools. You’ll need to buy and arrange the right equipment to handle the specific prep and cooking requirements of your chosen dishes.

 HANDS-ON SERVICE

Once the doors open, it’s all about execution.

  • High-Volume Management: As you expand to host more tables, the flow of orders becomes a torrent. You’ll need to coordinate cooking, plating, serving, and cleaning in real-time.

  • Physics-Based Cooking: Chop ingredients, manage stove temperatures, and assemble plates manually. Mistakes happen, and recovering from them is part of the gameplay loop.

BUILD AN EMPIRE OR FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL

Whether you want long-term progression or a hardcore challenge, the kitchen adapts to your style.

  • Career Mode: Start from scratch with a limited budget and basic equipment. As you earn profit, reinvest in your business to unlock new appliances, expand your floor plan, and tackle complex menu stacks. Transform your restaurant from a small operation into a massive, high-volume establishment.

  • Endless Mode: Turn service into a roguelike gauntlet. As days pass, you are forced to draft new menu cards that clutter your rotation with extra ingredients and complex dishes. Survive as long as you can to climb the global leaderboards and prove you and your crew run the best restaurant in the world.

VERSUS MODE: RED VS. BLUE

Two kitchens share a single dining room in a head-to-head battle for profit.

  • Competitive Service: Teams compete for the same pool of customers. Being faster doesn't just mean better tips—it means stealing revenue directly from your opponents. Serve tables before the other team does to secure the tab and leave them with wasted labor.

  • Tactical Warfare: Spend your earnings on Sabotage Cards to disrupt the other team. Slow down their cooking times, disable their appliances, or even invade their kitchen to physically interfere with their service.
