History VideoGame / PlateUp

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Some of the bonuses awarded after you finish a stage allow you to make changes to your restaurant's interior, such as putting down new flooring and wall decorations and adding plants in the dining room. These affect the patience of the customers in various ways.

** Choosing which items to keep and which to discard, and which gameplay condition to go with at the start of each day, [[ResourcesManagementGameplay is essential to successful gameplay]].

* {{Teleportation}}: Once you progress far enough in the game, you'll earn the ability to set up teleporters. When combined with conveyor belts, these can allow you to have food prep setups spread out through the restaurant and instantly pop the finished ingredients out in a more convenient location to pick them up, or put a similar setup in place to send your dirty dishes to a sink for cleaning.

''[=PlateUp!=]'' is a TimeManagementGame published by LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} on Steam on August 4, 2022. Up to four players take control of a restaurant, and must handle both food preparation and serving dishes to customers, with options such as gaining updates to cooking equipment, remodeling the restaurant, and being able to serve additional dishes appearing as you progress through the game. Players earn coins each time a customer completes a meal which can be spent on upgrades and bonuses. The standard game lasts for 15 days, and then goes into overtime days which continue until the game is lost.

** Customers will have a green bar overhead representing their patience for each stage of the process of their stay (waiting to get into the restaurant, have their order taken, and get their food respectively) that gradually decreases, and will turn red when it's critically low.
** Food which is cooking will have a similar timer over the appliance, which will pop up an exclamation point when it's done. In some cases, such as a stove or microwave, if you leave the food cooking for too long, the bar will turn red to show that it's about to burn.

* LevelScaling: As you go further in the game, you have to serve increasing numbers of customers, the customers' patience timers can decrease, and there can be complications with cooking and serving such as customers ordering multiple dishes and changing their minds about what they want after their order is taken.
