About This Demo

The Road Diner Demo tells the story of the very beginning of the old diner on Route 66 before the events of the game Road Diner. Unlike the full game, this is the original old diner before the rebuild, and you get to run it for a few days on your own.

At first glance, the old diner is a well-frequented business run by the original owner. Looking closer, however, it is struggling. The normal folks, the families and travelling salesmen are in decline and the cook left.

It is up to you to take care of the old diner and making it work while taking a closer look at all aspects of the business and introducing changes in order to improve the situation.

Seat patrons at their tables, take their order, serve coffee, take care of refills and eventually handle the check. And looking after them in between is probably a good idea, too. 
Make sure to not overdo it. Too many customers and you might get in trouble serving them in a timely fashion. Nobody likes to wait too long.

Collect empty plates, bring them to the dishwasher and clean them. Before doing that, it might be a good idea to wipe the tables and take a look at the floor if anything has been spilled that might need a clean-up. Nobody likes visiting a dirty diner. 

Grill multiple grilled dishes and use the stove to cook more regular ones. Maintain control of the orders and special requests and make sure they not only go out to the customers quick, but also in a good quality. Nobody likes undercooked or overcooked food and mistakes made will be reflected in customer satisfaction and tips.

Getting orders, cooking and serving is just a part of your job. There are many more tasks that have to be taken care of in order to run a successful diner. You obviously have to take care of the pantry and make sure you stock all the ingredients and goods you need.

And then there are the less obvious tasks like keeping the diner clean or making sure it remains popular.
