Getting Started in Generic Cooking Game

Generic Cooking Game dropped on Roblox on 13 April 2023 and is still marked BETA, but the diner is very much released. Hexbit Studios (scripter 00f_developer, modeller RatiusRat) built a physics kitchen on place 13118814103. You cook with up to eight players online, or you take the free Solo server if public lobbies are loud. This walkthrough is the first-shift checklist. The parent Guides Hub lists every other article; stay here until you can find the office laptop, the garage conveyor, and a plate without asking chat.

The loop is simple to say and easy to fail: take a customer ticket, cook the physics recipe, plate it, keep energy in kJ from collapsing, restock the factory before shelves die, and pay rent plus electricity. Bankruptcy happens when bills exceed the bank and the day resets. A recent change compounds those bills 6% per day survived, so a sloppy first night snowballs.

Pick a server before you touch dough

Join Tutorial first. It is the only mode that assumes you do not yet know E from Q. After that, Solo is free and identical in layout to a public diner without seven other avatars grabbing your pan. Normal is the standard co-op kitchen. VC Only is the same idea with voice. Ranked Level 15 and Ranked Level 35 wait until you can hit tickets clean — read ranked servers before you queue. Creative has no customers, unlimited ingredients, and energy that never depletes; park there when you want to practice a mold without a timer. Details live on Creative mode.

If a friend is already in a Normal server, join them. Online co-op is the intended group mode. There is no local-only split-screen version of this title.

How to actually cook anything in Generic Cooking Game on Roblox

Walk the desert plot

The map is a desert diner, not a city block. Learn these spots in order:

• Restaurant / kitchen — tickets, stove, oven, rice cooker, blender, immersion blender, knife, ladle, meat grinder, salt and sugar, plates and bowls.
• Office — couch for energy, laptop for restock orders, the room you return to when your walk speed falls apart.
• Garage — truck, conveyor, crates. This is the restock finish line.
• Factory — drive here after you place an order. Unload, then return.
• Solar panels — nine panels at $20 each, plus efficiency and resistance upgrades, plus cleaning. Buy these before decor.
• Star Shop and Hobo Joe fan shop — extra stops on the same plot.
• Hidden basement — easy to miss if you only hug the pass-through.
• UFO easter egg — behind the restaurant, then left past the barrier.

You do not need the UFO to survive night one. You do need the office, kitchen, and garage.

First hour: tickets, not mastery

Claim a customer order and read the on-screen recipe. Orange-highlighted words are the steps that matter. Toggle image versus text recipes in settings if a wall of type is slower for you. The locator finds missing utensils and ingredients; use it instead of sprinting in circles. Full binds are on kitchen controls — on PC, WASD moves, V swaps first and third person, left click picks up and drops, E is primary (mold dough or rice, pour, crack an egg, fire appliances), Q is secondary and inspects composition (oven on/off, rice cooker cook, first stove), F flips, T throws, G eats or drinks, X empties liquid, B crouches.

Cook easy tickets first. Chips, steak, coffee, and fried egg keep early customers happier than a croissant you have never molded. The recipe list names the sixty-recipe tutorial set and later dishes (beef taco, sausage roll, onigiri, corndog, chicken burger, carrot cake, chocolate cake). Star difficulty and mastery exist; mastery climbs by serving the dish, not by staring at the list. Use the recipe checklist if you want a box to tick.

Do not invent extra ingredients. Follow the orange words. If a tool is missing, locator. If the ticket is a soup or tart you have never seen, either pass it to a teammate or drill it in Creative after the shift.

Energy, bills, and the restock drive

Energy is kJ. When it is low you walk like you are wearing wet boots. Recover on the office couch, drink coffee, stand at a fan, or use the Eat Food pass (49 R$, about 500 kJ, and the pass is what lets you eat plated food). Cleaning floors, windows, and dirty plates still prints cash and XP between tickets. The long version is energy and bills.

Restock is not optional. Order on the office laptop, drive the truck to the factory, unload crates onto the garage conveyor. Instant Delivery (59 R$) skips the drive but costs extra unless the pass waives the fee. Delivering still pays commissions. If nobody is on the truck, the pantry dies and so does the night. Step-by-step sits on the factory restock guide. Split the job using kitchen roles so one person is not cooking, driving, and mopping.

Solar panels are the quiet money upgrade: nine of them, $20 each, then clean them and buy efficiency and resistance. Bills are rent plus electricity. When they outrun the bank, bankruptcy, day reset. Compound 6% per day survived means a messy first week is more expensive than a messy first hour.

People, trolls, and what to buy later

Public Normal servers troll. People steal food, dump ingredients, and empty pots. Vote kick exists; use it instead of chasing a griefer across the desert. Grab Players costs 299 R$ and comes with a tinfoil hat — it is not a default control. Food Basket is 79 R$. Japanese decor and Fine dining decor are 99 R$ each. 1.5x Speed is 119 R$. Manager is 399 R$ and covers hours, menu, and apron. Double Claim is a newer pass; this page does not invent a price. Rank those buys on the gamepass tier list after you own Eat Food or Instant Delivery if you buy anything at all.

There are no live promo codes as of September 2026. Check codes anyway so you are not the person typing random words from a thumbnail.

When this first night ends, do not immediately queue Ranked. Note which ticket failed, drill that mold in Creative, then come back to Normal with a restock driver assigned. That is the whole beginner plan.
