3	''Order Up!'' (spelled ''Order Up!!'' in later releases) is a cooking video game developed by [=SuperVillain Studios=]. It was originally released in 2008 for Wiiware, then [[UpdatedRerelease subsequently released]] for Playstation Network, the 3DS eShop, and iOS. Your character is a [[HeroicMime silent]], [[NoNameGiven nameless]] chef who drops out of a plane onto the island of [[PunnyName Port Abello]]. He or she quickly finds employment at a fast food joint, but is understandably disappointed with his or her paycheck and quits, soon [[StartMyOwn purchasing a broken-down diner for his or herself]]. As the game progresses, more restaurants are purchased and improved, ultimately leading up to the prestigious [[BlandNameProduct Fortified Chef]] competition.

5	!! Order Up! contains examples of:
6	* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: Mister Miyoda.
7	* BurgerFool: Burger Face
8	* ChezRestaurant: Chez Haute, the last restaurant in the game, is uptight and fancy, complete with condescending French waiter.
9	* CookingMechanics: It's a cooking simulator, so a wide variety of food to serve your customers is a given. The game has you work at several different restaurants, and among other things, the gameplay involves unlocking different recipes as you go along.
10	* FellAsleepStandingUp: The SleepyHead assistant cooks often do this, forcing you to wake them up.
11	* FrenchCuisineIsHaughty: The Chez Haute waiter's accent is no accident.
12	* GameBreakingBug: The 3DS version has the unfortunate tendency to overload the system's RAM and crash if too many animations are on the screen at once, especially in the later restaurants where, not only is the scenery more elaborate, but you might find yourself cooking four or more ingredients at once.
13	* GratuitousItalian: In-universe. The waitress of Stuffolini's tends to drop Italian words to the customers... and pronouncing them wrong.
14	** Surprisingly, though, even with the hurricane of stereotypes in this game, GratuitousForeignLanguage tropes are often averted.
15	* HeroicMime: Aside from a few "Hmm!"s in the intro, the character never speaks a word.
16	* TheInspectorIsComing: Periodically, the health inspector will come and watch you as you wash dishes in a mini-game. Fail, and you'll be closed down for that session. Additionally, a food critic may visit; his review is mandatory for unlocking the next restaurant.
17	* InterchangeableAsianCultures: There's a ninja serving as the waiter in the Chinese restaurant.
18	* NationalStereotypes: Most of the characters.
19	* SpaghettiAndGondolas: Stuffolini's is very obviously modeled after Olive Garden, the famed Italian restaurant.
20	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Count Steakula.
21	* PaperThinDisguise: "The Masked Judge", who runs the Chef Tip Line and appears in person during the Fortified Chef competition, is obviously the spice merchant Miyoda.
22	* PunnyName: Several; Tex Porterhouse, Russel Sprouts, and Port Abello itself for one.
23	* RegionalRiff: The ninja waiter in Kung Fusion never speaks, but there is a short Japanese flute playing whenever he takes an order.
24	* TutorialLevel: Burger Face.
25	* UpdatedRerelease: For the [=PS3=] and [=3DS=], which enhanced the graphics and added one more restaurant.
