The time has come, Chefs 👨‍🍳🔥

Grab your apron, sharpen your knives, and step into the kitchen.

Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together is OUT NOW on Steam

🤝 Cook Together

For the first time, Cooking Simulator goes fully co-op.

Run a restaurant with your friends and experience what it really means to work in a kitchen together. Split responsibilities, coordinate your actions, and try to keep everything under control as orders keep coming in.

One person prepares ingredients.
One person cooks.
One person plates.

Or everyone does everything at once. That works too.

Things can go smoothly, or they can fall apart in seconds. Burned dishes, missing ingredients, and last second saves are all part of the experience.

You can play solo, with friends online, or together locally. The kitchen is yours to manage.


🍳 New Career

Build your restaurant experience from the ground up.

Take on orders, serve guests, and manage the growing pressure of a busy kitchen. Each service brings new challenges, more complex dishes, and higher expectations.

Earn money as you complete orders and use it to expand your possibilities. Unlock new ingredients, improve your workflow, and prepare for what comes next.

Every service is a step forward, and every mistake is part of the learning process.


📖 Blueprint System

Learn. Create. Improve.

The Blueprint System allows you to follow step by step recipes or create your own from scratch.

  • Follow structured recipes

  • Experiment with ingredients

  • Create your own dishes

  • Add them to your menu and serve guests

This system supports both new players who want guidance and experienced players who want full creative freedom.


🧪 Create Your Own Dishes

Cooking Simulator 2 gives you the freedom to experiment.

Combine ingredients, try different techniques, and discover your own recipes. Some will turn into customer favorites. Others might not go as planned.

That is part of the process.

Your kitchen is a place to learn, test ideas, and develop your own cooking style.


🏠 Chef’s Flat

Even chefs need a place to breathe.

Step away from the pressure of the restaurant and relax in your Chef’s Flat.

  • Experiment with new recipes

  • Organize your pantry

  • Prepare for the next service

You will also meet your companions, including your dog, pigeon, and fish, who will keep you company between shifts.


🔥 Real Cooking Mechanics

Cooking Simulator 2 builds on the original’s attention to detail.

  • Cut, fry, bake, and season using real techniques

  • Manage timing and preparation

  • Plate dishes and serve them to guests

Every action matters. Small mistakes can affect the final result, and precision is key to success.


🍽️ Guest Reactions

Every dish you serve is evaluated.

Guests will react to your food based on:

  • Taste

  • Timing

Some will be impressed. Some will expect more. Learning how to meet those expectations is part of becoming a better chef.


🎮 Your Kitchen, Your Way

Play the way you want:

  • Solo career

  • Online co-op

  • Shared kitchen experience

Whether you prefer careful preparation or full chaos, the game adapts to your style.
