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.

The game play is fun and the mechanics are fun. I highly recommend
Le eche un cachito hasta terminar el prologo, y me quede en el modo libre bastante entretenida. Me encantó, tiene un michi lo cual es puntos extra siempre, y su mecanica es divertida osea no está solo como decoración. Ya quiero probar la version completa, definitivamente es un juego que voy a comprar, y directo para la Wishlist.
I mean... it's just a glimpse. It could work... however, you force me to own a cat, and it's already annoying me. Not the mechanic itself... but the constant meowing. Yes, I know you're hungry. But your assistance is not worth the amount of money I need to spend to feed you. I'm giving it a positive review because I had some fun with Gas Station Simulator and hope for the best. That's the last time I'm granting you that bonus, though. The mechanics work, but I don't know why they went a step back from Food Truck Simulator. Cooking is just a quick-time event. Washing dishes is surprisingly not annoying. The coffee mechanic is smart, and having to seat people makes sense in a way, although I'm pretty sure that's not how roadside diners actually work. But overall, it seems like it has potential.

Me ha gustado mucho y ya tengo ganas de jugarlo entero. Yo he jugado completamente con mando y la experiencia ha sido cómoda.
Sehr Gutes spiel der Prologue ist schon sehr interessant. hier und da sind ein paar Kleinigkeiten noch aber es ist vielversprechend.
prologue is fun, has potential. hopefully will way more cooking features added!
Bedava olduğun için hemen çöktüm oyuna. Megerem deneme sürümü imiş. Bu bir tık üzdü. Lakin oyunun tamamı çıktığında kendi paramı kazanıyor olur isem muhakkak ve muhakkak satın almak isterim. Çünkü oldukça keyif verici bir deneyim sunmakta. Tek başına oynamak elbette ki zor. Birtakım arkadaşlarla oynamak ise zannediyorum ki -hayır hayır zandan da öte buna eminim ki- çok daha iyi olacaktır. İnşallah o zamana kadar göz aydınlığı bir eş bulur da onunla ve kardeş mallarımla beraber oynama imkânı elde ederim. Kendi evimde, kendi paramla. AMİN.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Macht richtig Spaß! 🍔☕ Der Prolog hat mir richtig gut gefallen! Ich wollte schon immer mal selbst ein Diner betreiben und Gäste mit Essen und Getränken versorgen. Das Kochen, Bedienen, Abräumen und Abwaschen macht Spaß und gefällt mir richtig gut. Die Grafik sieht phänomenal aus und ich hatte keinerlei technische Probleme. Einziger Kritikpunkt für mich sind die Kakerlaken. Laut Beschreibung kommen sie, wenn man eine Sauerei macht, allerdings tauchen sie auch auf, wenn man sauber arbeitet. Ich fände es besser, wenn Kakerlaken tatsächlich nur durch mangelnde Sauberkeit ausgelöst werden. Dann hätte das Sauberhalten des Diners auch einen schönen zusätzlichen Sinn. Ansonsten eine klare Empfehlung! Ich werde mir die Vollversion definitiv kaufen.
This is a really great prologue, I can tell there was much more work put into this than previous games (not to dog on them or anything), but this was just overwhelmingly fun. Having to juggle tasks between only yourself, having to deal with cockroaches, is just great. I can tell when the demo and the full game come out, this will definitely be a game I replay. And the atmosphere, this game captures what you would expect for an old diner you see on the side of the road. Can't wait for the demo to release and the full game. Great job guys.
Le jeu est beau, le systeme de cuisine est agréable, par contre on court direct dans tous les sens avec une tonne de client, c'est un peu sport au debut. Surtout quand on croise le chat !
