About
The Road Diner prologue 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.
On first look the old diner is a well frequented business ran 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 introduce 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 dish washer and clean them. Before doing that, it might be a good idea to wipe the tables and take a look at the floor if nothing 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.
Cook a variety of dishes
Serve coffee and refills
Clean tables and floors

Handle inventory and ingredients
Seat guests, wait on them and handle payment
Don’t make a mess or the cockroaches arrive…

Good game. I can't wait to play!
Świetna gra! Po takim długim czasie oczekiwania i pierwszych zwiastunach trochę się bałem, że będzie jak food truck simulator ale ostatecznie wygląda to świetnie. Pomysł z uzupełnianiem półek bardzo wygodny. Nie ma Denisa to też mi się bardzo podoba. Obsługa klientów też fajnie ale przez to że ich trzeba zapraszać to tak naprawdę chyba tylko raz użyłem dzbanka z kawą jak pomyliłem dodatki do zamówienia i musiałem na szybko smażyć. Trochę jak dla mnie krótkie zmiany. Kiedy zapełniłem po końcu dema wszystkie stoliki, zrobiłem zamówienia, pozbierałem talerze to już był koniec zmiany. Kota bardzo polubiłem :) Na początku mini gierka z grillem była dosyć niewygodna (przewracanie bułek i kotletów myszką na górnym palniku nie zawsze chciało działać) to po jakimś czasie obsługując wszystko z klawiatury było prawie jak gra rytmiczna :) Pomysł z odgrzewaniem dań mi się podobał. Kiedy pomyliłem zamówienia i zrozumiałem, że można podmieniać składniki to szybko poprawiłem swój błąd. Zmywanie naczyń super szybkie i wygodne :) Jestem ciekaw jak będzie można ulepszać diner i czy będzie można zmieniać jego wielkość. Marzyłyby mi się loże jak z pierwszych zwiastunów no i dłuższa lada. Fajnie by też było gdyby z kuchni dało się wyjść od razu za ladę a nie z boku, wygodniej by się podawało zamówienia tym przy ladzie bo tak to nosiłem im za plecami jedzenie. Pod Linuxem odpalałem ją w trybie performance i działała świetnie :) Podsumowując świetna gra, jestem zachwycony :) Czekałem na nią od pierwszych zapowiedzi i przerosła moje oczekiwania :)

Nice game , keep improve it
Got stuck on the task to clean the dishes after customers left. I only had 3 tables yet I had to clean 4. I haven't been able to play further because of this. Its really sad as I was looking forward to this. If anyone has any idea what I could do to fix this I would really appreciate it.
Interesting so far, do like how you can use either your mouse or the keys when cooking on the grill. Most likely will get once it comes out. Just hope to see expansions to the diner along with some customization for the characters and diner itself.
can't wait for full release 100% getting it
Love it! I'm ready to play already!
Der Prologue ist sehr vielversprechend und ich freue mich auf das fertige Spiel. Ich hatte keine Bugs oder ähnliches. Bei mir lief alles einwandfrei. Wenn man grad an den anfängen des Spiels ist sollte man vielleicht nicht sofort alle Tische besetzen, das wird dann zu viel. Aber das ist ja jedem sein eigenes Empfinden. Mir hat es auf jedenfall Spaß gemacht. Bin gespannt was einen noch für Features in der Zukunft erwarten.
its actually really fun even by myself. dont really have anyone to play with, but as a team id recommend 100 percent
