GAME SYNOPSIS/FAQ META-INFO
This is a Wii console game that uses the Wii's unique controller to simulate
cooking actions. You flip burgers by flipping over the Wiimote, dice onions
by "chopping" downward very quickly, etc...
On top of the basic cooking mechanics, Supervillain studios has layered a
time-management game and a restaurant career mode where you can work your
way up from a burger flipper to the owner of a fancy restaurant. You can
delegate cooking tasks to underling chefs, each of whom has unique abilities.
The overall style of the game is fairly clever and witty. There's lots of
jokes and stereotypes about the restaurant business throughout the game.
This game was favorably received, with a 76% metacritic score
(metacritic.com). Most complaints about the game are that it's too short;
you can easily beat it in under 10 hours.
Although the cooking aspect is similar to Cooking Mama, it's been simplified
a lot and the focus is more on managing your time.

restaurant and how many stars it has. You can end the
day immediately or quit the game from here.

QFF- Frequently asked Questions
Q. Is this game like Cooking Mama?
A. A little bit, the cooking part has been simplified a lot and instead
there's a focus on time management and progressing through a storyline.
I personally think Order Up! is a lot more fun. It was scored about 15
points more highly than Cooking Mama on Metacritic.com. If all you're
interested in is preparing dishes and going through lots of steps to
make them, then you'd probably like Cooking Mama. If you just want to
play a fun game that has a slight cooking aspect, then try Order Up!.
Q. What's the difference between Normal and Hard mode?
A. In Hard mode, the progress bars will disappear from stove/grill items.
You will have to go by the aroma lines to tell when something is done.
This makes cooking for Dusty a lot harder.
Also, the final opponent in the Fortified Chef tournament will be harder.
Q. How do I add spices?
A. Press the [-] button. Choose a spice category and then the spices.
You must press the OK button on the left when you're done, otherwise
it won't actually add anything.
Q. Why can't I impress the Food Critic?
A. In order to pass, you need to cook his food to 'Good' or 'Perfect',
and it must be spiced appropriately. He always orders a Chef's Special.
Notice that one of the steps says 'Needs Spice'. When you're doing
that step, open the spice menu. On the left side, it will show you
what spices you need to add. It will put a check mark through the spice
when you've chosen the right one. You may need to add more than one
spice, and some spices may look similar to others.
Adding the wrong spices or extra spices will cause you to fail.
Q. What's Quick Mode?
A. Quick mode lets you try out cooking for different restaurants. It's
played in Normal mode (with progress bars), but you have no spices
and can't make any specials.
Q. What do the restaurant names mean?
A. El Fuego = "The Fire" (Spanish).
Stuffolini's = A made-up Italian-sounding name.
Chez Haute = "High Home" (French, literal)
Restaurants (especially French ones) use Chez the way the Italians use
Cafe. It implies a home-like, friendly restaurant. Since it can also
mean 'Place', you could translate it as 'High Place', since the
restaurant is up high on a building.
Although 'Haute' literally means 'High', in culinary terms, 'Haute
Cuisine' is a term for fancy, elaborate food; usually prepared and
presented artistically.
So you can think of the name as sort of a double-meaning joke.
Q. What's the point of the Chef Tip Line (at the payphone)?
A. Nothing. He offers no useful tips, but says about 10 different things.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QFW- Walkthrough
From the opening screen, select 'New Game', then 'Normal' mode. If you
want to put on the paper hat that came with the game, you can do so now.
Choose the gender of your chef.
Burger Face - DAY 1
Once you've confirmed your choice, you'll be dropped into your first
cooking experience at Burger Face.
Here, a Burger Face employee will explain the basic cooking mechanics.
Follow along with the instructions to select items from the order ticket,
drop them in the right places, and then perform the indicated actions to
cook them. If you get stuck or closed the instructions before reading
them, refer to the cooking section of this FAQ.
Gravy Chug - DAY 1
After your first day, you'll find yourself stepping into your very own
diner as it's head (and only) chef. At the summary screen at the start
of the day, you'll see your objectives:
1. Clean up the restaurant
2. Buy all 12 basic recipes
3. Buy 4 "Chef's Special" recipes
4. Earn 500 coins
5. Impress the Food Critic
The food critic will show up when you have the other 4 objectives met,
but you can complete the other objectives out of order, if you like.
You have 0 coins at the moment, so it seems like you can't buy anything.
HOWEVER... place the Hand cursor over the newspaper boy as he rides
past you, and press 'A' (you have a limited amount of time to do it).
He'll fall over, then take you to an easy mini-game that will let you
earn 20 coins. (See the Mini-Game section)
If you missed the newspaper boy because he already rode past, just click
on the 'Island' icon in the top-right corner, then click on 'Gravy Chug'
to come back and try again.
I'd suggest you use a couple of the coins you get to use the phone booth
on your right and call the Delivery Guy.
Pay the delivery guy and you'll hopefully get a "Special Ingredient" to
use on your first day. You can dramatically boost the cash you get to
start with...
Once inside, take order tickets and cook food as they showed you at Burger
Face. Each day, four tables of diners will come through your restaurant
for you to cook for.
Try to cook everything perfectly (this requires each step to be 'Perfect'
as well). This doubles the amount of money you get compared to a 'Good'
dish. Feel free to throw out anything that isn't Perfect and try again.
Don't worry about customers leaving because you didn't get to them (it
takes a very long time). Try to practice getting all the dishes to finish
at nearly the same time. If you focus on completing one dish and then
move on to the next, the first completed dish will get cold while you work
on the second one. A dish isn't "complete" till you've finished all it's
steps though... Try using these tricks:
- leave the finished item on the table as long as you can
(this doesn't work on the stove or grill, but items you've pulled
from the fryer or oven can be left sitting there)
- finish all but one item of each ticket, then go down the line and
complete only the last steps
- cook items simultaneously (leave a little bit of delay before you
start a second item so you'll have time to flip/finish the first)
You should end up with around a hundred coins at the end of the day.
Gravy Chug - DAY 2
Shove the newspaper guy again for another 20 coins.
You should get the second row of menu items for free, along with an
assistant chef: Crispin Brown
If you give Crispin a "Fry" task, he'll do it perfectly for you. If you
give him anything else, he'll do a 'Good' job. There's a few things you
can't give him, but he's incredibly useful right now.
Call the Delivery guy again, paying the 1 coin to spin the wheel.
If you have over 50 extra coins, read the newspaper and pick 'Services',
then pay to clean up your restaurant.
Today, try to unload any 'Fry' tasks on Crispin. If you mess up on a
dish and get a 'Good' or lower rating, then give Crispin the rest of it
since you won't get Perfect anyway.
Gravy Chug - DAY 3
Shove the newspaper guy, then answer the phone. Follow the directions
to go to the Market.
There you'll meet the spice merchant and play his mini-game. When you
win, buy at least 5 (preferably 10) of table salt, brown sugar, onion
powder, barbecue sauce and gravy. If you have a bunch of cash, buy
10 pepper as well. You have no use for Malt Vinegar or Vegify at the
moment.
When you get back, shove the newspaper guy again.
Call for your delivery, then run the day just like Day 3.
Gravy Chug - DAY 4
Shove the newspaper guy. Do this every day, every time you see him.
Today you'll get a call to head to the market again where they'll be
offering some Chef's Specials.
Whenever someone buys a Chef Special, you get a bonus 10 coins. The
downside is, they require the use of Spices, and YOU have to cook them
(not an assistant) to put it in.
You have to eventually buy the first four Chef Specials for each
location, and they are your biggest moneymakers, so buy as many as you
can now. Hopefully, you can buy the first three.
Buy some pepper from the spice guy if you don't already have some.
If you have extra money, hire Larry Cheezler from the newspaper menu.
He will divert lots of customers to your specials, raking in the cash
for you.
Go back, shove newspaper guy, call delivery guy, etc...
Gravy Chug - DAY 5
With luck, you can buy your last special(s) today, and complete your "Earn
500 coins" star. Don't bother upgrading your Chef Knife or any of the
equipment in the restaurant.
Gravy Chug - DAY 6
If you have four stars, the food critic will be showing up to grade you.
DO NOT pay for the delivery guy today! The food critic will be your
only customer.
El Fuego - DAY 1
If you have enough money, buy the El Fuego restaurant and go there.
Now your objectives are the same as at the diner, but you have to earn 750
coins. Your recipes and specials cost more, but you make twice as much
from your patrons.
Leave the first (50-coin) Chef Special to last, since you can't make it
till after you complete all 5 stars anyway.
You can hire 3 new chefs (note that the most you can have at one time is
two, and your assistant chefs follow you from restaurant to restaurant).
I'd recommend replacing one of your chefs with Hashi Ichiro as soon as you
can. You can probably get rid of Crispin (you can always re-hire him
later) since there's not a lot of frying to do here.
New spices and 4 new Chef Specials also became available when you got your
5th star. The new Chef Specials for the Gravy Chug are very expensive,
use tons of spices (usually the more expensive 2-coin spices) and aren't
necessary to have in order to move on. If someone orders them, they pay
off double (20 coins!), which also happens to be how much you get from a
generic chef special at El Fuego. Save your money for El Fuego.
El Fuego - DAY 2+
El Fuego has different recipes, cooking techniques and spices, but the
gameplay is basically the same as at the Gravy Chug. Just do what you
did there till you've gotten all 5 stars and are ready to move on to
Stuffolini's.
There is NO grilling here, so don't hire Lunk Manhood.
I'd also suggest not upgrading any equipment here either.
The patron, Dusty Kiester, will show up here. He's a pain in the neck
to cook for, so you may want to just treat him like any other customer
and not bother burning his food.
After you buy Chef Specials here, don't forget to load up on the 2-coin
spices as well (especially jalapeno, and cumin).
Stuffolini's - DAY 1
When you buy Stuffolini's, head back to the market to play the new
spices mini-game. Assuming you win, you'll unlock the 3-coin spices.
Aside from needing 1250 coins for your fourth star (and Stuffolini's
paying you triple what Gravy Chug did), it's mostly the same.
One of the new Chefs you can hire (Cecil) is pretty good if you like
to finish all your dishes Perfect (and why wouldn't you?).
Since buying your fourth restaurant is pricey, and filling out its
menu is even more pricey, you may be here a while. It might be worth
upgrading your equipment (though not your food processor: you still
have no use for it)
Chez Haute - DAY 1
You can finally move up to Chez Haute, your finest restaurant.
It's so fancy that two of it's dishes (three once you've completed it
and bought the bonus chef specials) use the food processor! It's
still probably not worth upgrading though.
If you're going for assistant chefs that are good at cooking food,
you can replace Hashi Ichiro with Elita Von Snoot now.
Fortified Chef Challenge
With 5 stars at Chez Haute, you can challenge the Fortified Chef!
Even though the manual says to stock up on spices before you go, ignore
it- you have unlimited spices in the final rounds!
You'll have to face off with your opponent in making 3 dishes, which are
randomly chosen from every dish in the game. Even so, it's probably not
going to be too tough for you.
Congratulations!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QFR- RESTAURANT LOCATIONS
Each restaurant location follows a similar format. First you'll purchase
it, then you'll be able to move in and start cooking. Each starts out
with 1 row of menu items containing 3 recipes. Three more rows are
available for purchase. Each row you buy also allows you to buy the
matching Chef Special from the black market. People who buy a Chef's
Special will pay you a bonus tip.
Optional Chef Specials always require spices that won't be available
till after you get that restaurant to 5 stars. Sometimes they require
spices that won't be available till several restaurants later.
Each location also starts off with a nearby phone booth (used mostly to
call the delivery guy) and a newspaper boy who will deliver the paper.
The newspaper he leaves behind can be clicked on; this will let you buy
upgraded equipment and clean up the restaurant (needed to get 1 of the
stars for that restaurant). You can also hire assistant chefs from it.
If you shove the newspaper boy by clicking 'A' on him, you'll play a
mini-game that gives a different amount of cash depending on your location.
In order, the restaurants are:
Gravy Chug (GC) - A traditional diner (think "Denny's")
El Fuego (EF) - A mexican restaurant
Stuffolini's (ST) - An italian restaurant
Chez Haute (CH) - "Haute Cuisine", elaborate chef creations
Your goal is to work the restaurant up from 0 to 5 stars. You get a star
for each of these goals:
1. Clean up the restaurant (buy this service from the newspaper)
2. Purchase all 12 basic recipes (buy from the menu board out front)
3. Purchase all 4 Chef Specials (buy from the Black Market)
4. Earn a certain amount of cash (varies by location, see chart)
5. Impress the Food Critic (He'll appear automatically the day after you
get 4 stars- if you fail to impress him, you can call him again from
the payphone)
The more stars your restaurant has, the more people per table will
show up. With 0-1 stars, you'll get your regulars + 1 other person.
Each star after that will tend to bring in 1 more person per table to a
max of 4. A 5-star restaurant will see mostly full tables.

Notes:
(1) Buying the upgraded food processor is useless here, since no recipes

(2) Although you can buy this Chef Special, you can't make it till after
you complete the restaurant
(3) Delivery spins at Chez Haute are very unreliable, as little as a 25%
rate of winning anything
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QFP- PATRONS ("Regulars")
You'll be seeing some people repeatedly visit your restaurants. These
people have names and their own likes and dislikes. There will always
be one of them at every table.
If you add the spice they like to their food, they'll give you the "Spice
Bonus" in addition to their tip. If you give them the spice they hate,
they and their whole table will leave without paying you anything. For
everyone except Russel, the Count and Dusty, you only need to add their
spice to any one ingredient.
These regular patrons will never order Chef Specials, but the other
people they bring in might. Non-named generic patrons have no special
preferences.
The regular's ticket will always be the one on the far left. If you
forget what kind of spice they like, you can pay coins (amount varies by
location) to get a reminder.

Notes:
(1) If they like a particular spice, they actually like that entire
category. Example, Maria likes Pepper (spicy), so she'd also take
Jalapenos, Garlic or Mustard Powder. However, she wouldn't give
you any more of a tip for a more expensive spice.
(2) For Dusty, cook any grilled/fried/stove items till they're over
halfway into the final red box (almost at the flame icon). You
can still flip/stir stove food so that it doesn't burn that way.
On hard mode, you just have to guess when it's done. You can try
to wait till your assistants have complained a few times about an
imminent fire.
(3) For the Count, remove any grilled/fried/stove items as soon as you
put them on. Don't even flip his burgers.
(4) Maria should supposedly hate Aromatic food (there's never a tip that
tells you what she hates, but if you add Sugar to her food, she'll
leave a nasty comment about how much she hates Aromatic spices)
(5) Every meat step in Rusell's food must be vegified! Even if you
vegify it in one step and cook it in the next. Failing to do so
will make his table leave without paying.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QFA- Assistant Chefs
Three assistant chefs will be available for you to hire in the beginning.
One will join you for free, then you can hire more as you get the money.
You can have a max of two assistants, and they are not limited to the
location where you bought them. If you go to another location, the
assistants will come with you.
If you try to hire a 3rd one, you'll be asked to fire one of your existing
assistants. You can always hire them back if you need them later. Each
one has their own strengths and weaknesses. Aside from the cash it takes
to hire them, they don't take a cut of your daily pay.
All assistants will at least cook any assigned ingredient to 'Good'. Some
can cook certain items perfectly. Only the Santos will add spices to a
dish, even if it's otherwise cooked well (So even though Ichiro can carve
perfectly, he'll cost you the Chef's Special bonus if you ask him to carve
the meat for Encrusted Prime Rib since he won't add the spices to it).
CRISPIN BROWN
Hiring cost: 25, available at start (Will join you for free on Day 2)
Pro: Can perfectly cook any frying task (does not include Saute)
Con: There's not many frying tasks after the first restaurant
It's hard to beat Free, and he's very helpful at the first restaurant.
RANDLE MCDANDLE
Hiring cost: 25, available at start
Pro: Patrons take longer to become angry (this is a passive effect,
you won't see him juggle or do anything out in the dining room)
Con: Can't cook anything perfectly
Very annoying sounding. Occasionally pies himself in the face when
he doesn't have anything to do.
LARRY CHEEZLER
Hiring cost: 50, available at start
Pro: Nearly all guests except for regulars will order specials
Con: Can't cook anything perfectly
Larry is an interesting choice, especially if you have lots of specials.
He can bring in lots of cash for you, but he's just dead weight in the
kitchen. When I get 4 patrons at a time, sometimes I'll pick a dish to
sacrifice and let Larry cook it all. It means losing half the tip, but
I'll be done with the table faster. Larry's one of the few assistants
that eventually pays for himself.
LUNK MANHOOD
Hiring cost: 50, available after 5th star at Gravy Chug
Pro: Perfectly cooks any Grilled items
Con: There's NO grilling at El Fuego and very little at Stuffolini's
Definitely don't hire him when he becomes available, unless you're still
playing the Gravy Chug a lot. He's helpful at Chez Haute, but useless
till then.
HASHI ICHIRO
Hiring cost: 100, available after 5th star at Gravy Chug
Pro: Perfectly Slices, Carves, Cuts, Chops, Dices
Con: Eventually overshadowed by Elita Von Snoot
He's one of my favorite assistants at this point in the game. There's
quite a lot of work that he can knock out Perfectly. As a bonus, he's
very impressed with himself and tells you how awesome he is at every
opportunity.
THE SANTOS
Hiring cost: 150, available after 5th star at Gravy Chug
Pro: Adds spices to food that needs it (including patron orders). This
does not use up your spice supply.
Con: Only cooks food to "Good", costing you half the basic tip.
Chef Special food can be annoying (especially at the final restaurant
where everyone and their brother orders Volcanic Island). It's also
a pain to cook for Dusty, especially in Hard Mode. Since he can only
cook food to "Good", you lose a little tip money. If he cooks for a
patron, you end up losing 1-4 coins since the Spice Bonus doesn't
quite cover the lost cash. If he cooks a chef special, you end up
making money in the long run. Since he doesn't use up your own spices,
he eventually makes his hiring cost back.
DOUGH BOY
Hiring cost: 100, available after 5th star at El Fuego
Pro: Acts as a 2nd oven
Con: Cooks everything (except Baking) to Good.
Possily the most useless chef.
The manual and his interview implies that he can cook anything made out
of dough originally. However, he can't make pizza, boil pasta or
spread sandwiches. If he can cook anything perfectly, I haven't found
it yet. His only benefit is that you can use him to Bake instead of
the oven. He's not any faster, but you can have 2 baked items waiting
to come out at once. This isn't very helpful.
As a bonus, he sounds like Strong Sad from Homestarrunner.com.
CECIL SOSTRAIGHT
Hiring cost: 200, available after 5th star at El Fuego
Pro: Cooks EVERYTHING handed to him perfectly
Con: Takes about 50% longer to cook than any other chef
Since time isn't much of a concern, Cecil is really great at helping you
cook everything perfectly. He can't bake, make pizza, spread butter or
add spices to anything, but he can do just about everything else.
"GUNG" HOBART
Hiring cost: 300, available after 5th star at El Fuego
Pro: Makes your other assistant cook faster
Con: Can't cook anything better than "Good"
Again, since time isn't much of a concern, his special benefit isn't very
helpful. If you want to get done with your days in a hurry, pair this
guy up with Dash McCracken.
DASH MCCRACKEN
Hiring cost: 250, available after 5th star at Stuffolini's
Pro: Twice as fast as most chefs
Con: Can't cook anything better than "Good"
He's really, really fast. If you're trying to get done quicker, or you
are willing to sacrifice some meals, he'll crank them out in a hurry.
ELITA VON SNOOT
Hiring cost: 500, available after 5th star at Stuffolini's
Pro: Perfectly cooks any stove or knife-related task
Con: Sounds so helpful and friendly she's a bit annoying
She can do everything Ichiro does AND boil/saute on the stove perfectly.
This does not include frying or grilling. If you put her together with
Cecil, you have the widest variety of perfectly-cookable stuff.
MR JINKIES
Hiring cost: 1000, available after 5th star at Stuffolini's
Pro: Never falls asleep, about 50% faster than most chefs
Con: Can't cook anything better than "Good"
I definitely don't think he's worth 1000 coins. I would probably have
switched his hiring cost with Elita if I was designing the game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QFS- Spices
On your 3rd day at the Gravy Chug, you'll get a call to go to the Farmer's
Market and visit the Spice merchant. Master Miyoda will make you go through
a mini-game to get access to them (and another mini-game to get access to the
top two rows of spices)
To add spice(s) to a recipe, press the [-] button. The spice menu will come
up... click on the type of spice, then select the spice you need. You can
only add 1 spice of each type to any individual step. When you've selected
all the spices you want to add, click the OK button on the left. If you
selected one you don't want, you can choose 'None' to cancel it. Spice
Selection pauses cooking in Normal mode, but not in Hard!
If the recipe step is marked 'Needs Spice', the spices will be pictured on
the left, and they'll be checked off when you select that spice to add. If
you don't see the check box, you added the wrong one. Some spices (Balsamic
Vinegar, Hoisin and BBQ sauce) look very similar. Salt and Pepper are only
slightly different colors in the base part of the picture. You can (and
must) add several types of spice at once for some steps.
Patrons who want special spices won't tell you in the ingredients list, you
just have to know to add it.
All Chef Specials are based on regular, non-special items. To make them
special, you add spices at certain stages. The order ticket for the special

ingredient stages will be marked with 'Needs Spice'. When you've added all
the spice the dish needs, a cloud will appear with the name of the Chef
Special dish.
