Becoming a master chef takes dedication and skill, and the same goes for succeeding in Hell’s Kitchen on Roblox. To help you stand out as the best chef and earn the title of Gordon Ramsay’s chosen one, we’ve created this beginner’s guide with tips to set you up for success. The game follows a format similar to the show that inspired it, where you’ll be split into teams and face off against other chefs until only one remains. In essence, Hell’s Kitchen tests your speed and accuracy, so mastering both is key to earning your place at the top.

Game phases in Hell’s Kitchen 

Each game of Hell’s Kitchen is divided into several phases. Here’s how it plays out:

  • Team Formation: You’ll be split into two teams.
  • Pre-service and Dinner service: After the teams are formed, you’ll rotate between pre-service and dinner service rounds. During pre-service, you’ll prepare just one dish, while dinner service is more demanding, requiring you to prepare several dishes at once.
  • Elimination round: After each service phase, an elimination occurs, where the chefs with the lowest scores get voted out.
  • Minigames and bonus XP: Sometimes, a fun minigame will pop up between rounds, offering a chance to earn extra XP.

Service phase order

The cooking process in Hell’s Kitchen usually consists of the following pipeline:

  • Get ingredients from Pantry and/or Fridge
  • Chop ingredients
  • Cook, Boil, or Fry
  • Mix or Blend ingredients
  • Assemble the dish
  • Serve the food

While pre-service and dinner services are similar, the main difference is that during dinner service, you’ll be preparing multiple dishes simultaneously. To earn the best score, make sure to serve your dishes as quickly and accurately as possible, using ingredients from the pantry and fridge, chopping them, and then cooking or blending them as needed.

Increase your score by cooking perfect meals

To earn the most points for your dishes, focus on timing. When you’re cooking or preparing a dish, make sure to grab it from the oven, pan, blender, or pot as soon as the progress bar begins to shift. Taking the food out too early or too late will result in a lower score, so perfect timing is key.

Elimination and Challenges

After each service phase, the team with the lowest score will vote out one chef. If only one player remains on a team, there will be no vote. Occasionally, you may also face a challenge in the form of a minigame, which doesn’t affect the rankings but can award you bonus XP if you win.

Competitive mode in Hell’s Kitchen

Once you’ve earned 5000 XP in total, you’ll unlock the game’s Competitive mode, which adds some extra challenges to the game. In this mode, there are no power-ups and no sprinting, so it’s all about raw skill and strategy.

Using power-ups, game passes, and merits

Power-ups can be a game-changer, helping you secure a last-minute victory, but you’ll need cash to buy them. Luckily, you can use special Hell’s Kitchen codes to get free cash and snag a power-up before your first cook-off. Winning a few rounds can help you build your earnings and keep the momentum going.

Game passes have less of an impact on gameplay, but one exception is the Shift to Run game pass, which allows you to sprint. Others are more or less impactful, and all of them have to be bought with Robux.
