Welcome to Buddy World — a cozy multiplayer cooking game where you and your friends run restaurants, serve hungry customers, and grow your buddy empire together.
Cook together over Steam — Team up with your Steam friends: one buddy hosts a world in Buddy World and invites friends through the Steam overlay. Everyone jumps into the same kitchen — plating orders, working the grill, washing dishes, and putting out fires together. Up to 6 players, no separate server needed.
Run real restaurants! Start at the Salad Bar — pack orders, wash dishes, and keep customers happy before their patience runs out. Unlock Pizza Place and master dough, sauce, toppings, the oven, and the pizza box station. Expand your kitchen, buy upgrades, and push through day after day as things get busier.
Salad Bar — build bowls, manage the line, keep the dining room clean [] Pizza Place — roll dough, top pizzas, bake, box, and serve [] Drive-thru — cars don’t wait. Neither should you. [] Buddy Delivery — take orders on the road and chase streak bonuses.
More than the kitchen When the shift ends, head back to Buddy World — a shared hub where you can add friends, invite players to your world, climb leaderboards, tend the community garden, sell produce to your restaurants, and unwind at the fishing dock.
Grow your buddy Earn Buddy Coins, level up your restaurant, unlock perks, customize your chef, and spend earnings in the shop on extra stations, bigger tables, dishwashers, and more. Every world slot saves your progress so you can build something worth coming back to.
Built for playing with people — Multiplayer runs over Steam friend invites: send an invite from the in-game panel or the Steam overlay (Shift+Tab) and friends drop straight into your restaurant. Solo play is fully supported too.
Grab your apron. Friendly. Fast. A little frantic. Cooking Buddies is the game for players who want a wholesome co-op cooking loop with friends — and just enough chaos to keep every shift memorable.
