</>What does Regulars Only (Endless Patience) do?
One slow order in PlateUp! turns into a spiral: a table gets impatient, they leave, the next group is already cross when they sit down, and the run is over. Regulars Only takes that pressure off entirely. Every diner's patience stays topped up, so a table that has been sat there since the start of the day is still perfectly content when their plate finally lands. They still order, still eat, still pay - they simply never get fed up with you. This is the one to reach for when you want to learn a complicated dish, build the restaurant you actually want, or just cook without a timer breathing down your neck.
</>What is Regulars Only (Endless Patience)?
Regulars Only is the PlateUp! mod that stops your diners running out of patience. Customers who would normally get fed up waiting and walk out - taking the run down with them - now sit tight for as long as the kitchen needs, while still ordering, eating and paying exactly as usual. That means you can learn an awkward recipe, fix a bad kitchen layout mid-run, or host a chaotic co-op night without the clock deciding how it ends. Switch it off whenever you want the pressure back.
</>Common questions about Regulars Only (Endless Patience)
What does Regulars Only (Endless Patience) do in PlateUp!?
Regulars Only keeps every diner in your PlateUp! restaurant patient, so nobody storms out because you fell behind. Impatient customers walking out is one of the main ways a run ends, and this removes that ending completely - however long an order takes, the people waiting for it are happy to keep waiting. Nothing else about the restaurant changes, so you are still cooking real orders for real money, just without a walkout hanging over every slow ticket. It works in single-player and when you are hosting, and you can switch it on and off whenever you like.
Do customers still order, eat and pay normally?
Yes - the whole service runs as it always did. Groups arrive, sit down, order, get served, eat and pay, and your restaurant earns from them exactly as normal. The only thing Regulars Only changes is that their patience stays topped up, so the countdown that would eventually make them walk out never runs down. That means a PlateUp! run with this on still feels like a restaurant rather than an empty sandbox; you are still cooking to orders and still watching plates go out, just without the punishment for taking too long over any one of them.
Does Regulars Only work if I join someone else's PlateUp! restaurant?
No. Customer behaviour is decided on the host's machine, because PlateUp! runs the restaurant there. Regulars Only takes effect in single-player and when you are hosting the lobby; as a guest in a friend's game their diners will get impatient exactly as they always do, and your copy of the mod cannot change it. Host the night yourself and the whole table benefits - patient customers are a property of the restaurant rather than of one chef, so everyone cooking with you gets the calmer service. Worth sorting out before you start a long co-op run.
Can I turn Endless Patience off partway through a run?
Yes, and it is a decent way to play. The Endless Patience switch takes effect the moment you flip it, so you can run the early days with patient diners while you get the kitchen built, then switch it off for the back half and find out whether your restaurant actually holds up under real pressure. Turning it off does not punish you retroactively - customers currently sitting simply start behaving normally from that point. Flip it back on if a night goes sideways and you would rather finish the run than lose it to one bad order.
Why would I use Regulars Only instead of just playing better?
Because a lot of what PlateUp! asks of you is unlearnable while the clock is punishing you for practising. Regulars Only takes the timer off so you can work out a complicated dish properly, test a kitchen layout end to end, or show someone new how the game works without their first run collapsing in five minutes. It is also the accessibility answer for players who enjoy the cooking and the building but not the panic - the restaurant still runs, still earns and still progresses, it just never throws you out for being slow. Switch it off whenever you want the pressure back.
