Stream a MukbangThe Table is the most important upgrade in Stream a Mukbang because it provides a permanent Cash multiplier on every stream. This guide covers every Table level, its cost, its multiplier increase, and why it should always be your first upgrade purchase.
Why Table Is Priority #1
The Table upgrade provides a permanent Cash multiplier that increases every stream's payout, regardless of which food you are using. This makes it fundamentally different from food purchases:
| Investment | Duration | Earning Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Table Level 2 | Permanent | +15% all future streams |
| Food (1x purchase) | Single stream | Higher earning for one stream only |
A Table upgrade compounds with every future stream and every food tier improvement. One food purchase affects exactly one stream. The permanent multiplier always wins over time.
The Mathematics Behind the Table Multiplier
To understand why Table upgrades dominate, consider a player who streams 50 times. With no Table upgrade and Corn Dog (300 base Cash), they earn 15,000 Cash. With Table Level 2 (1.15x multiplier), the same 50 streams earn 17,250 Cash — a difference of 2,250 Cash. The Table Level 2 costs approximately 500 Cash. That is a 450% return on investment over 50 streams, and the multiplier never expires.
Now consider the same 50 streams with Pizza (2,100 base Cash). Without Table upgrades: 105,000 Cash. With Table Level 5 (1.65x multiplier): 173,250 Cash. The difference is 68,250 Cash from the same 50 streams, purely from Table upgrades. This is not theoretical — it is the reason experienced players always max out their Table before spending on cosmetics or Room Expansions.
Immediate vs. Long-Term Gains
| Strategy | First 10 Streams | Next 40 Streams | Total (50 Streams) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Table L2 first, then food | 3,450 (Corn Dog @ 1.15x) | 13,800 | 17,250 |
| Food-only, no Table | 3,000 (Corn Dog @ 1.0x) | 12,000 | 15,000 |
The difference of 2,250 Cash may seem small, but it snowballs. That extra cash buys better food sooner, which earns even more cash, accelerating your entire progression. This is the core principle of efficient play: permanent multipliers compound, one-time purchases do not.
Table Level Breakdown
| Level | Multiplier | Cumulative | Approximate Cost | When to Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 1.0x (base) | 1.0x | Free (starter) | Default |
| Level 2 | 1.15x | 1.15x | ~500 Cash | First purchase after codes |
| Level 3 | 1.35x | 1.35x | ~1,500 Cash | After consistent B-tier food |
| Level 4 | 1.50x | 1.50x | ~3,000 Cash | After consistent A-tier food |
| Level 5 | 1.65x | 1.65x | ~5,000 Cash | Late game with A/S-tier food |
Each Table level provides an incremental multiplier increase. The largest single jump is from Level 1 to Level 3, which provides a 35% earning boost for a combined cost of ~2,000 Cash.
Cost Efficiency Analysis Per Level
Not all Table levels are equally efficient. The cost-per-percent-multiplier varies significantly:
| Level | Cost | Multiplier Gain | Cost Per +0.01x Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 → L2 | ~500 | +0.15x | ~33 Cash |
| L2 → L3 | ~1,500 | +0.20x | ~75 Cash |
| L3 → L4 | ~3,000 | +0.15x | ~200 Cash |
| L4 → L5 | ~5,000 | +0.15x | ~333 Cash |
Level 2 is the most efficient upgrade in the entire game, costing only ~33 Cash per 0.01x multiplier gain. Level 3 is also extremely efficient at ~75 Cash per 0.01x gain. Levels 4 and 5 are more expensive per unit of gain, but they remain the best investment because no other upgrade provides a permanent, universal earning boost.
Understanding Cumulative Multiplier Scaling
The cumulative multiplier is not simply additive in practice. When you stream with Pizza at 2,100 base Cash:
| Table Level | Multiplier | Pizza Earnings | Increase from Previous |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 1.0x | 2,100 Cash | — |
| Level2 | 1.15x | 2,415 Cash | +315 Cash |
| Level3 | 1.35x | 2,835 Cash | +420 Cash |
| Level4 | 1.50x | 3,150 Cash | +315 Cash |
| Level5 | 1.65x | 3,465 Cash | +315 Cash |
The jump from Level 2 to Level 3 provides the largest single-level increase (+420 Cash per Pizza stream). This is because Level 3 adds +0.20x to the multiplier, while other levels add +0.15x. Level 3 is the most impactful individual upgrade in the Table progression.
How the Table Multiplier Affects Each Food
The multiplier applies to the base earning rate of whatever food you are streaming:
| Food | Base Earning | Table L3 (1.35x) | Table L5 (1.65x) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken | 200 | 270 | 330 |
| Corn Dog | 300 | 405 | 495 |
| Fried Chicken | 500 | 675 | 825 |
| Carbonara | 1,300 | 1,755 | 2,145 |
| Pizza | 2,100 | 2,835 | 3,465 |
The difference between Table Level 1 and Level 5 with Pizza is 1,365 Cash per stream. Over 100 streams, that is 136,500 extra Cash from the same food and effort. This is why Table upgrades are always the first priority.
Practical Example: A Week of Streaming with Different Table Levels
Consider a player who streams 10 times per day for 7 days (70 streams) using a mix of foods:
| Food Used | Streams | Base Earning | Table L1 Total | Table L3 Total | Table L5 Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corn Dog | 20 | 300 | 6,000 | 8,100 | 9,900 |
| Carbonara | 30 | 1,300 | 39,000 | 52,650 | 64,350 |
| Pizza | 20 | 2,100 | 42,000 | 56,700 | 69,300 |
| Total | 70 | — | 87,000 | 117,450 | 143,550 |
The difference between Table Level 1 and Table Level 5 across 70 streams is 56,550 Cash. That is enough to buy multiple new food items, Chair upgrades, or Background upgrades. The Table multiplier essentially generates free Cash from streams you were already going to do.

When to Buy Each Table Level
Table Level 2 (~500 Cash)
Buy this as your very first upgrade after redeeming codes. The 15% multiplier boost pays for itself within 3-5 streams using Corn Dog.
Step-by-step for new players:
- Redeem the FREEFOOD code for free Chicken
- Stream Chicken 3-5 times to accumulate enough Cash
- Purchase Table Level 2 before buying Corn Dog
- Now buy Corn Dog and stream it with the 1.15x multiplier
This sequence maximizes your early Cash. If you buy Corn Dog before Table Level 2, you waste the 1.0x multiplier on your first Corn Dog streams.
Table Level 3 (~1,500 Cash)
Buy this after you have a stable income from B-tier foods (Mozzarella Corn Dog or Takis Dog). The 20% additional multiplier significantly boosts your earning rate.
When to pull the trigger:
- You have at least 2,000 Cash saved (1,500 for Table + 500 buffer for food)
- You are consistently streaming Mozzarella Corn Dog or Takis Dog
- You have already purchased Chair Level 2
Table Level 4 (~3,000 Cash)
Buy this once you are consistently streaming A-tier foods (Carbonara or Hot Cheeto Spicy Corn Dog). The 15% increase from L3 to L4 is less dramatic per level but still very valuable.
Timing tip: Save 3,500 Cash before purchasing (3,000 for Table + 500 for food). Do not go below 0 Cash — you always need money for food to stream. A Table upgrade with no money for food is useless.
Table Level 5 (~5,000 Cash)
Buy this in the late game when you are preparing for Pizza streaming. The 165% total multiplier maximizes your S-tier food earnings.
Late-game strategy: Save 6,000 Cash before purchasing Table Level 5. After buying it, immediately purchase Pizza with the remaining 1,000 Cash. The 1.65x multiplier on Pizza (2,100 base) yields 3,465 Cash per stream. You recover the 5,000 investment in approximately 3 Pizza streams.
Table vs. Other Upgrades
| Upgrade | Earning Impact | Cost | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Table L2 | +15% all streams | ~500 | #1 |
| Chair L2 | +8% retention | ~800 | #2 |
| Background L1 | +3% passive | ~600 | #3 |
| Room L1 | Visual only | ~5,000 | #4 |
Table is always the best first purchase. Even Chair Level 2, which costs more, provides less earning improvement than Table Level 2.

Why Chair and Background Are Secondary
Chair upgrades improve viewer retention, which increases the chance of comment spikes. Background upgrades provide a small passive earning boost. Both are useful, but they depend on your base earnings to have a meaningful impact. Table multiplies your base earnings directly. Without a solid base multiplier, retention and passive boosts produce significantly less value.
A player with Table Level 5 and no Chair upgrades will earn more per stream than a player with Chair Level 5 and no Table upgrades. The math is unambiguous: permanent multiplier first, retention second, passives third.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Table levels are there? The exact number may change with updates, but Table generally has the most levels of any upgrade category. Each level provides an incremental Cash multiplier boost. Currently, the maximum is Level 5, providing a 1.65x multiplier.
Should I buy Table Level 2 before buying any food? Use the free Chicken from the FREEFOOD code for 3-5 streams, then buy Table Level 2 before purchasing any non-free food. The multiplier makes your Corn Dog streams more profitable. You will recover the 500 Cash investment within 3-4 streams.
Does the Table multiplier affect comment spike bonuses? The Table multiplier applies to the base earning, which the comment spike bonus is calculated on. A higher Table level means the comment spike bonus produces more absolute Cash. For example, a comment spike on Pizza with Table Level 1 yields bonus Cash on 2,100 base; with Table Level 5, the bonus is calculated on 3,465 base.
Is it worth upgrading Table to maximum? Absolutely. The maxed Table multiplier dramatically increases Pizza and A-tier food earnings. It is the single most impactful upgrade investment in the game. A maxed Table provides a 65% earning boost over no Table upgrades — no other upgrade comes close to this return.
Should I delay food upgrades to save for Table levels? Generally, yes. Stick with your current best food until you can afford the next Table level, then upgrade the Table before moving to better food. The exception is when a new food tier provides a larger relative boost than the next Table level. For example, moving from Corn Dog to Carbonara provides a 333% base earning increase — that is larger than any single Table level. In that case, buy the food first, then save for the next Table level.
