How To Play

· HOW TO PLAY DINER DASH

The key to Diner Dash is this: keep the customer satisfied.

The faster you serve, the happier your customers are, the happier they are, the bigger your tips, the bigger your tips! Take too long to serve your customers and they’ll get up and leave. Get enough tips and you finish your shift and win the level. Fail to earn those tips and you lose tip money. Fail to reach the goal score and you lose the level.

Action 1: Seat customers
Click and drag a customer group to seat them at a clean, open table.
Color matching: Re-arrange customers and match them with the same color seats to make them happier.

Action 2: Taking orders
Take order: when customers put down their menus, click on their table to pick up the order
Drop ticket: click on the spinning ticket station to drop it off

Action 3: Serve food
Pick up food: click on the food at the counter to pick it up
Serve food: click on the corresponding table to serve food

Action 4: Settle the bill
Give check: when a table is finished eating, click on the table to give the check and customers leave.

Action 5: Bus the tables
Pick up dirty dishes: click on a table to pick up the dirty dishes
Drop off dirty dishes: click on the bus station to drop them off

*You can only carry two items at once.

*Earn bonus points by doing the same action many times in a row!

*Checkmarks show you all the restaurant locations Flo has queued to visit. Two checkmarks in the same location mean Flo will perform two actions (i.e. give check and pick up dirty dishes).
