There are various game modes including Career Mode, Sandbox Mode, Cooking School and Leaderboard Challenge, Winter Holidays, SUPERHOT Challenge. In Career Mode the players take control over a kitchen while progressively earning fame and experience levels by serving dishes according to orders.[3] A money fee is automatically charged each time the ingredients are picked up from the shelf.[4] The goal is to reach 5th Fame Star. Sandbox Mode offers a fully equipped kitchen with no time limits.[5] Cooking School is a series of tutorials explaining all the game mechanics. Leaderboard Challenge is a game mode in which players compete by trying to prepare a single dish according to the recipe. Each dish has its own scoreboard. Winter Holidays added as a free update offers new kitchen and allows to serve a dinner to a number of guests by preparing dishes containing requested ingredients. SUPERHOT Challenge is the newest mode added as a free update on February 25, 2020 inspired by SUPERHOT to celebrate its 4th anniversary on Steam.[6] It modifies the appearance of products, utensils and kitchen and introduces a new mechanic that slows down the time when the player's not moving.
