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.

We got a regular Diner Simulator, with cat petting and cockroach eradicating. https://youtu.be/HG0U5zQwewE
Świetna gra, kot latający pod nogami i zasada 5 sekund były śmieszne, a możliwość zobaczenia restauracji po drugiej stronie ulicy grając w gas station sim będzie genialne ale fajną funkcją byłaby możliwość – podczas grania w Gas Station Sim – przejścia przez drogę do Road Diner. Wtedy wyskakiwałoby powiadomienie o przełączeniu gier i odpalałby się Road Diner z unikalnym intro, całkowicie pomijając menu główne
おもろいから日本語対応してほしい
It was really fun, i enjoyed it a lot. I cant wait for the whole game to be out
Der Prolog hat mir wirklich sehr gut gefallen! Das Bedienen, Kochen, Abräumen und Sauberhalten sorgt schnell für ordentlich Chaos, macht aber genau deshalb richtig Spass. Die Atmosphäre im Diner ist gemütlich, das Gameplay motivierend und ich hätte direkt noch länger weiterspielen können. Für einen Prolog bekommt man bereits einen sehr guten Eindruck davon, was das fertige Spiel bieten soll. Ich freue mich definitiv auf den Release und bin gespannt auf mehr Inhalte, Management und natürlich den Koop-Modus. Klare Empfehlung!
I actually really enjoyed this. I appreciated the option of turning off the 'roaches' aspect and now it's just flowers running around the ground (very cute). It has a lot of potential in being a cozy simulation. I have a lot of ideas on where they could improve but for a demo, it was fun! Not sure about the haters as I haven't experienced any of what they did but, again, great potential!
I loved playing this prologue. The streamlined inventory ordering system was so convenient! Glad to see the devs are actively listening to recommendations and suggestions to consider for the full release. I look forward to the full release!!
