Say hello to Binx, the four-legged resident of Road Diner Simulator! Binx isn't just here to look adorable - he has a mind of his own. If his food bowl is empty, he'll happily wander around the diner, keeping everyone on their toes. Every now and then, he'll even hunt down a pesky cockroach, proving he's earned his place on the team. But be careful! While carrying a tray full of food, the last thing you want is to accidentally bump into a curious cat. One wrong step can send your carefully prepared meal flying. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/46129986/1d1042b338709aa597529aaaa1c16c3785a41c04.gif Want a quieter shift? Keep Binx's food bowl stocked, and he'll happily relax in his favorite bed instead of roaming the diner. Of course... if you enjoy living dangerously, you can always let him patrol the restaurant. Remember! The Prologue launches tomorrow!

Whenever dirty dishes are placed into the dishwasher, they're automatically added to the washing queue. You can always check the dishwasher's window to see how many are waiting, making it easy to know when it's time to jump in and help. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/46129986/ece96c8316c86c5d170861298680088de7eb7cd9.gif Washing dishes is a race against time - hammer the Space key to scrub them clean as quickly as possible. The faster you wash, the faster your kitchen can get back to serving hungry travelers! Think you're quick? Beat your personal best, displayed above the sink, or team up with friends in multiplayer to tackle the mountain of dirty dishes together. A clean table, spotless dishes, and a full stack of plates are the secret ingredients to keeping your diner running smoothly. Don't miss it! The Road Diner Simulator Prologue launches on Monday, July 27.

Every table you serve leaves a lasting impression. Once your guests leave and the table has been cleaned, you'll receive a service rating that reflects how well you handled their visit. Every decision you make throughout the meal contributes to the final score! Your rating is influenced by: ⭐ Food quality – Great meals lead to happy customers. ⏱️ Service speed – Don't keep guests waiting for too long. 🥶 Food temperature – Cold dishes won't earn compliments. 🍽️ Order accuracy – Serving the wrong meal comes at a cost. 🪑 Seating decisions – Make sure every group gets the right table. 🪳 Cleanliness – Too many cockroaches are a quick way to ruin your diner's reputation. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/46129986/daf3ee639dfd9e011b3c5802edad51f790f80145.gif Running a successful diner isn't just about cooking delicious food - it's about delivering a complete dining experience. Pay attention to every detail, and your reputation will keep hungry travelers coming back for more. Don't forget about the dishes, either. Plates are a limited resource, so every dirty one needs to make its way back to the dishwasher before it can be used again! Also don't forget to check our upcoming Prologue on July 27!

A customer may be gone, but your work isn't over yet! Once guests leave, they'll leave behind two things: their payment and a messy table. Collect the cash, clear away the leftovers, and get the table ready for the next group. A clean dining room keeps customers flowing and your diner running at full speed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/46129986/a1b1dbdfe9fc366349fd8de32d75aaf7dc3a9498.gif But that's not all! Every service contributes to your customer rating, reflecting how well you handled the entire visit. Want to know what affects your score and how to earn those five-star reviews? We'll cover everything in the next post! Keep an eye out for our upcoming Prologue - it will be released on July 27!

The kitchen has done its job - now it's your turn to make the perfect delivery. Every dish should reach the table fresh, hot, and prepared exactly as ordered. Even the best recipe won't impress your guests if it's served cold or made incorrectly, so timing is everything. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41182526/a1ca26878de0c5ee53d2a479063c330f287fd32e.gif But carrying a tray through a busy diner isn't always easy. One careless step and you might bump into another customer... or even the resident cat! If you drop a meal, you'll only have 5 seconds to pick it back up before an army of hungry cockroaches claims it for themselves! A skilled waiter knows that serving food is more than just walking from the kitchen to the table. Stay alert, move carefully, and make sure every plate reaches your guests before disaster strikes. Keep in mind our upcoming Prologue will be released on July 27!

Seating your guests is only the beginning - now it's time to take their order. Once customers sit down, they'll start browsing the menu. Watch their animations closely, as they clearly show what stage they're in without needing to check the UI. When they're ready to order, they stop reading the menu, and you'll see on the notepad that they want to order the dish. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/46129986/b0c08deb638363b8a72ccce075bb3d37d68d04c1.gif After you've taken the order, the kitchen gets to work - but your job isn't over yet. While the chefs prepare the food, keep an eye on your guests' patience. Use coffee when you're falling behind. A fresh cup will keep waiting customers happy and give you extra time to catch up.! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/46129986/d9c1c527c90f0e87216af5afeb8d61b0877d30f5.gif Once the meals are ready, deliver them promptly to the correct table. Be careful not to serve the wrong dish to the wrong customers. A great waiter doesn't just take orders - they know exactly when to act and always make sure every table gets the right meal. Don't forget our upcoming Prologue on July 27!

A great dining experience starts long before the food reaches the table. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/46129986/d07d0e2d7d46fe49292e904dfa0b775b948351bb.gif As the Waiter, it's your job to greet every customer and show them to their seat. Guests can arrive alone or in groups of up to four people, so choosing the right table is just as important as serving them quickly. Need a seat for one? The bar is a perfect fit. Larger groups will need a proper table - but only if it's clean! Dirty tables can't be used, so keeping the dining area spotless is essential if you want to serve more customers and keep the line moving. A little planning goes a long way. Seat your guests wisely, keep the tables clean, and your diner will stay busy all day long. Check our upcoming Prologue on July 27!
