The game offers a lot of busy work, keeping players engaged with tasks like washing dishes, prepping ingredients, and managing stock.
There are many new ingredients, meals, customers, and upgrades that provide variety and keep the gameplay fun for an extended period.
The time management aspect is well-designed, allowing players to prepare before opening and organize their kitchen effectively.

The game suffers from a lack of clear instructions and a confusing recipe book, making it difficult for players to understand how to prepare certain dishes.
Randomized ingredient availability can lead to frustrating gameplay, as players may be unable to purchase essential items for extended periods.
The controls can be cumbersome, with issues in targeting and distinguishing pick-up/drop-off areas, which detracts from the overall experience.

The gameplay is reminiscent of "Overcooked," focusing on ingredient management and cooking at designated stations, but it also incorporates restaurant management elements like upgrades and stock control. While it features solid mechanics and can be enjoyable at times, some users do not recommend purchasing the game.
- “While Hot Plates has sound mechanics and, at times, fun gameplay, I cannot recommend a purchase.”
- “The gameplay is basically Overcooked (you run around with ingredients, chopping and cooking them at the right station) except you stay in the same restaurant every day and have some additional management options - buy upgrades, manage stock, etc.”
