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

szerintem nagyon joo es kreativ lesz
Wiedziałam, że będzie dobrze i jest dobrze ;D
[h1] 66号公路翻肉饼♥ [/h1] 66号公路边开小餐馆,客人进门领座、点单、下厨、端盘子、擦桌子、拖地、补货,一个人全干。客人不会等你,盘子不会自己洗,食材用完了得赶紧补,满意度掉下去客人就不来了。 美式公路餐馆的皮挺有味道,菜单还在加新东西。序章体量有限,流程跑完就到头了,正式版应该会把经营线拉得更长。 we need chinese!!! [h1] 公路餐馆烟火忙,一人撑起满堂香♥ [/h1]

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.
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.
Nice game , keep improve it
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 :)
O jogo é bom, com mecânicas tranquilas, um dos primeiros jogos de temática de cozinha/restaurante onde não são cansativos o preparo da comida, é rápido e simples, sem precisar ficar picando cada ingrediente e etc, ao que vi poderemos contratar funcionários, melhorar o restaurante, tudo de forma gradativa, o prologo foi curto porém já vi que jogo será bom.
2 hours in and I would recommend! Positives: - It's easy to understand how to play. - There's a funny back story that can be built upon - The cooking mechanics are simple and the food cooks fast. - Restocking adds realism. - Customers eat fast enough - Customers actually look at a menu and then you can only take their order once they're ready. Room for improvement: - When I initially loaded the game, I could use AWSD to move, but my mouse would not move. I had to switch to xbox controller to be able to play. Probably a bug. - Sometimes 2 people that arrive together would not sit at a table with 2 seats. Also probably a bug. - I'm not a fan of the roaches; they're just annoying. Could add an exterminator we can hire. - The customers do get impatient pretty quickly, might not be a big deal when we can hire more employees. - It would be nice to have more room to store already fried food items. Will be back to play the demo/full game!
I like the concept of the game! It was a new type of simulator game to me and I enjoyed it very much! Especially the cooking style, pretty cool! I can't wait for full game to come out.
