Flo’s First Diner

Flo is the games lovable and quirky main character. Raised a country girl, Flo wanted to live in the big city and moved to Diner Town. Her first job was working in a little office cubicle and in short it’s not a job that made her very happy. Flo dreamed of quiting the corporate rat race and branching out on her own but she wasn’t sure what she should be doing.

One day the stress of office work became to much for Flo and she walked out. She still had no idea what she was going to do but upon walking home, she came across a old restaurant for sale. She decided to buy it and run it, which is how Flo’s Diner was born. Flo wouldn’t just be the owner though, she decided to work as the main waitress with the goal of making enough money from every shift to keep fixing her new diner up and gaining more customers.

Each of the five stages in the game has ten levels of restaurant improvement to complete. The first stage of Flo’s Diner begins by offering a game play tutorial. In the beginning only the ladies will come as customers and they will come dressed in colors of blue and red. As you go father along in the levels on this stage the ladies will also come in yellow and green.

Gamers can move on to the next level by earning enough on their shift. Each customer has a happiness meter made from hearts above their heads. If Flo can keep those hearts up for each customer the greater the customer’s happiness with the restaurant will be and the more money Flo will make.
