How scoring works
Updated 14 November 2026.
Every dish you check in on Plateoff is worth 100 points when you save it, 50 more if it uses the ingredient of the day, and up to 100 more from blind votes. So a dish is worth 100 to 250 points. Your week is your three best dishes, 750 points at most. Your pack's points are its cooks' points added up.
One dish
| What | Points |
|---|---|
| You check in a meal you cooked, with a photo and a title | 100 |
| It uses the ingredient of the day | +50 |
| Each time a blind judge picks it, for its first ten judgments | +10 each, up to +100 |
| Most a dish can earn | 250 |
The ingredient of the day is the same for everyone. It changes at midnight, and tomorrow's is shown in the app, so you can shop the evening before. Every ingredient is vegetarian, from mushrooms to mozzarella.
One week
The week runs from Sunday to Saturday and closes at Saturday midnight, São Paulo time for now. Only your three best dishes count. You can check in more, and any of them can become one of your three, but a fourth dish never adds on top.
An example: you cook four times. Your dishes end the week on 210, 180, 160 and 130 points. Your week is 210 + 180 + 160 = 550.
Blind votes
- Judges see two dishes side by side, with no names, and answer one question: "Which would you most like to try?"
- You are asked to judge five pairs for each dish you check in. Judging itself earns no points, so nobody farms votes.
- A dish from someone in your own pack comes last in your queue, and only if there is nothing else to judge.
- Likes and comments are never scored.
Packs and ranks
A pack is the group of people you cook with. Its points are its cooks' week points added up. Every Saturday at midnight, packs are ranked on their last four weeks, worldwide and in their country.
| Rank | Who gets it |
|---|---|
| Diamond | The top 5% of ranked packs |
| Gold | The next 15% |
| Silver | The next 30% |
| Bronze | The rest of the ranked packs |
A new pack is unranked until it has played two full weeks with at least three cooks who checked in a dish. While fewer than 50 packs are ranked, ranks come from points over the last four weeks instead: Silver from 6,000, Gold from 12,000 and Diamond from 24,000.
Streaks
Your streak counts the weeks in a row in which you checked in at least one meal. The week in progress never breaks it, so you have until Saturday midnight.
Questions
What is the most points I can get in a week?
750: three dishes at 250 each. Each would need the ingredient of the day and a pick from all ten of its judges.
Does cooking more than three times a week help?
It gives you more chances at a strong three. Only the best three count, so a weaker fourth dish never lowers your week.
Can my friends vote for me?
Rarely. A pack-mate's dish only reaches you when nothing else is left to judge, so almost every vote comes from cooks who do not know whose dish it is.
How is the ingredient bonus checked?
It is an honour rule. You say the dish uses the ingredient when you check it in, and judges see the ingredient on the dish.
You are cooking tonight anyway.
