How score and titles are calculated

Every step of a dish is credited, not just the serve

Picking up an ingredient, cooking it, plating it, washing the plate it ends up on, and finally serving it are all separate jobs — and each one is credited to whoever did it, on that exact dish. A player who spends the whole match at the stove earns their share even if they never once carry a plate to the counter.

The end-of-match screen turns this into one number per player: your exact share of the team's score, as a percentage. Finishing a dish counts for more than carrying it a few steps, but nothing you did is worth zero.

How the team combo works

Combo is shared by the whole team, not tracked separately per player — every dish anyone serves adds one to the same counter, and it pushes your team score up: past 2 in a row it's worth 1.1x, past 5 it's worth 1.2x.

It only breaks one way: a customer's own patience running out before anyone serves their order. There's no hidden "serve every few seconds or lose it" clock, and serving the wrong dish for an order doesn't touch it either — that action just does nothing.

Your Combo Keeper score is the highest the team combo ever reached at the exact moment you personally served — it rewards whoever's serve landed during the match's biggest streak, not whoever served the most.

MVP: the best all-round player

MVP compares every player against the best in that same match on three things: how much of the match's work they did, how many orders they served, and their best combo moment. How much work they did counts for 60% of the score, orders served and combo count for 20% each — heavily weighted toward the work, so a player who did most of the cooking can take MVP without ever touching the serving counter.

It only goes to a player who contributed something. A match where nobody did anything gives out no MVP.

Four side titles, for four different jobs

• Sous Chef — most prep work: chopping, cooking and plating, everything except the serve itself.
• Speed Demon — fastest average serve, not the most serves. Needs at least 2 orders served to qualify, so one lucky order doesn't win it.
• Combo Keeper — landed a serve during the biggest team combo streak of the match, which has to reach at least 3 in a row to count.
• Dish Hero — the most dirty dishes washed clean.

The rules behind who gets what

• A match needs at least 2 players. A solo run has nobody to be better than, so it awards nothing.
• One player can hold several titles at once — MVP and Sous Chef both go to the same person if they earned both.
• A title only goes to someone who actually did that thing. Nobody washed a single dish means no Dish Hero is awarded that match, rather than handing it to whoever washed the least.
• Ties are broken by whoever's overall contribution to the match was bigger.
