GAME FEATURES :-

Everyone always says that the restaurant business is tough, but this action puzzle game proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt and provides a lot of entertainment in the bargain. You control Flo, a newcomer to the service industry, and you have to help her single-handedly wait on all the tables in her new restaurant. This means you have to seat customers, take their orders, serve them their food, get them their checks, and bus their tables for the next group. All of these activities are driven with a simple point-and-click interface that will send Flo scurrying from table to kitchen to dirty dish bin and back again--hopefully before the customers get mad and leave. As you play through the game, you'll learn how to chain actions together, seat customers according to the color of their clothes for extra multipliers, distract them with music and chitchat, and quell their anger with coffee and tiki drinks. Before too long, you'll also start encountering different types of customers, like college students and senior citizens, who have different levels of patience and generosity. This great-looking game will soon have you obsessed over increasing the efficiency of your restaurant. It's a great purchase all the way around. Diner Dash is an action strategy game in which the player takes the role of Flo, a stockbroker who quits her job to run her own diner. Gameplay involves seating customers and guiding Flo around the restaurant to serve customers. If enough money is earned after each level, play progresses to the next. As the game progresses Flo updates the dilapidated restaurant she begins with and builds three further restaurants, which provide new settings. Gameplay centers around catering to customers within a time limit in order to gather as much money as possible. Flo can be moved around the restaurant in order to complete tasks. As customers arrive in the restaurant, the player must drag and drop them onto a table, where they sit down and read menus. Then the player must guide Flo to the table to take their order, which must be taken to the service hatch. After the chef has prepared the meal, Flo must deliver the food. When the customers are finished eating they must be taken a check, at which point the customers leave a tip and their dishes on the table, departing the restaurant. The dishes must be cleared by Flo before the next set of customers can use the table. Each successful action earns the player points, performing the same action multiple times in a row earns the player a chain bonus, which is broken once a different action is performed. Customers have a series of hearts over their heads that indicate their mood. The longer the customer is forced to wait, the more hearts he or she loses. Each type of customer has different degrees of patience and tipping habits. If Flo stands at the podium it will revive these hearts. Serving drinks or seating a group on the bench also keeps them happier. When customers lose all their hearts, they leave the restaurant, costing the player points. The goal of a level is earn a certain number of points. There are also expert point totals for advanced players to achieve. The game has two modes: Flo's Career, which follows the story of Flo, and Endless Shift, a survival mode in which the player must last as long as possible in a single level.
