A multi-floor grill device with a plurality of working surface types arranged adjacent each other and interfacing each other to create stations for processing foodstuff in a grill device in a convenient way. Drip ducts or trays are relocated to a bottom floor beneath a top floor that accommodates the working surfaces. A plurality of gas burners are placed under a cooking grid and may be covered with heat plates with fins that interrupt solid residues falling off of cooked foodstuff on the grid from resting and accumulating on the plates. Working surfaces for processing the foodstuff before cooking are placed at the front of the top floor and made conveniently accessible to a user. These surfaces receive induced heat from the cooking grid that pre-warms the foodstuff before cooking and shortens its cooking time.
