Build 25275457

Update v1.2.0 is now available! This is our second larger patch since the full release, including new features requested by the community!

Gamepad support

We've added gamepad support for XBOX, PlayStation, SteamDeck and Switch controllers. You can customize their keybindings in the settings.

UI navigation works through a virtual mouse cursor controlled with your right stick or trackpad.

To ensure smooth gameplay, select the official gamepad layout by Division Software in the Steam Input settings of the game (should be pre-selected).

• PlayStation

• Switch

• Steam Deck

Eating animations

At the moment we're testing around with eating animations for customers in the game. We'll add them with a future update.

Counter

You can now store up to 14 prepared dishes in the counter so they don't lose durability. But keep in mind that some dishes require to be warm and should be freshly cooked.

Waiters also take dishes from both here and the call bell in your kitchen.

Sprinkler System

You can now buy a sprinkler system for your kitchen to extinguish fires automatically.
