Order Station

The Order Station is the first station in all of the Papa Louie restaurant time-management games.

Customers will make their way to the order counter on the left side of the screen. When the player is ready to take the character's order, a screen showing the worker taking the customer's order is shown. In games where there is a dining room, the worker who takes on the role as waiter or waitress is shown taking the order from the dining room.

While orders are being created by the player, the customer moves from the order line to the pick-up line and will either interact with the decorations that are on display in the lobby or will stand patiently waiting for his or her order to arrive.

The items in the lobby can only be changed before or after a game is played. Players are not allowed to change items or posters in the lobby while the game is being played.

When it is time to present the final order to the customer, the scene returns to the order station as the worker watches the customer judge the meal, gives his or her response, and provides a tip in the tip jar (or tickets for the minigames).
