=== Contestants ===
The New Zealand adaptation of the series originally featured teams of two contestants, typically with pre-existing personal relationships, competing against one another to transform an ordinary home into a temporary restaurant. Each team was responsible for creating a themed dining experience, including menu design, décor, and table settings, for a single high-pressure evening of service.

After the instant restaurant, the remaining teams compete in a four-round format and went from People's Choice directly to Sudden Death.
* '''People's Choice Challenge''' – During this offsite challenge, all teams were given ninety minutes to prepare a dish aligned with a specified theme or event. The team receiving the highest number of guest votes—or, in some cases, achieving the highest sales if the challenge involved selling their dish—was designated as the ''People’s Choice''. This team was granted immunity for the remainder of the round. In Series 5, certain winning teams were additionally awarded an advantage in the subsequent food truck challenge to ensure an even number of competing teams. The team judged to have produced the weakest dish was selected by the judges and sent directly to the Sudden Death round.
* '''People's Choice Challenge''' – During this offsite challenge, teams would all have an hour and a half to prepare their dish relevant to a theme or event. The team with the most number of guest votes (sometimes, the best-selling dish if all are tasked to sell their meal) is declared as the ''People's Choice'' and will be safe for the rest of the round (For series 5, some winning teams were given an advantage for the next Food truck challenge as an even number of teams were required to compete). A team with the worst dish will be chosen by the judges and will proceed straight through the Sudden Death round.
* '''Rapid Cook-off''' – In Kitchen Headquarters, teams are challenged to create a dish using a key ingredient in 30 minutes. All teams will be reviewed by the judges with certain number of teams who will be safe from elimination, and who will be competing in a following showdown.
