Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator changes
Demo Launching Next Week - Limited Meat Served
The Meat Grinder demo launches on February 17, 2026, serving up a sneak peek at our most suspiciously delicious dishes. We’re joining Steam Next Fest too, so expect a stampede of curious, ravenous visitors to flood the shop.
In this demo, you’ll master the art of hot dog assembly, handle a mysterious “limited meat” ingredient, and juggle the chaos of daily service. Supplies never run out, but your conscience might.

What Surprises Are We Stirring Up for the Full Game?
French Fries, Drink Machine
The development process of Meat Grinder is continuing rapidly. In recent weeks, we added two important mechanics to the game, and the shop is now much more lively than before.
New Mechanic: French Fries 🥔
Yes, French fries are now on the menu. Because no hot dog should be left alone.
Time management in the kitchen truly becomes a challenge now.
Peel the potatoes
Cut them
Fry them
A well-prepared plate means more earnings and happy customers. A poorly prepared order is… Well… Be careful, a tray might come flying at your head.
New Mechanic: Drink Filling System🥤
And yes, drink service is now available as well.
A drink machine has been added to the shop, and it offers four different options:
Cherry Juice
Cola
Lemonade
Orange Juice
The system works as follows:
Take the empty cup
Place it into the machine
Fill it
Give it to the customer without spilling
It looks simple, but if you drop the cup, you will have to clean it up.
More is coming next. See you at Next Fest.
Don’t forget to add it to your wishlist.
