The Order Station is the first station in all 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 customer'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 of waiter or waitress is shown taking the order from the Dining Room. In games where there is a Delivery Phone, a phone on the bottom-left corner of the screen will ring; upon answering, the worker who takes on the role of driver is shown to be answering the phone in what is presumed to be the office of the restaurant. They take note of what the customer, who can be seen on the left side, is ordering.

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 their order to arrive.

However, if a customer waits in line too long before the player clicks the "Take Order" Button, or if it takes too long for the player to prepare their order, the player will lose points.

Upon presenting the completed order to the customer, the scene returns to the Order Station, where the worker watches the customer judge the meal, give their response and provide a tip in the tip jar (and points to earn tickets for the mini-games). A point total and percentage ratings from each of the three or four stations will appear on the screen. The point total is the sum of the percentages, divided by 3 or 4 (not rounded up), and multiplied by 4/3 if bronze customer, 5/3 if silver, 2 if gold, and 3 if all 5 stars are obtained. Depending on how well the player does when building the order, the customer will react positively or negatively, with emotions ranging from:

  • Elated (90-100)
  • Satisfied (80-89)
  • Unimpressed (70-79)
  • Dissatisfied (60-69)
  • Exasperated (50-59)
  • Enraged (0-49)

The more positive the response, the higher tip given by the customer. Negative responses, will incur the player losing progress in their minigame ticket bar. If the player gets an unimpressed or dissatisfied response, the player will not earn a star for that order, but won’t lose any stars. If the player gets an exasperated or enraged response, all stars the player earned for that customer will be removed from the Star meter. If the player gets an enraged response, the player will also receive no tips.

The player can receive tips by (maximum tips) x (100 - 2 x (100 - (points of the order)))%. So if the player gets exactly 50% points (ignoring multiplier), the player ends up with no tips, though the animation that a coin drops into the tips jar.

Player will receive a star from a normal customer if they have at least 320% general stations points (240% for games with three stations), and from closer or customer with golden envelope if they have at least 380% general stations points (280% for games with three stations).

Decoration[]

From Papa's Burgeria onwards, the player can also decorate the lobby with posters, wallpaper, flooring, and furniture. From Papa's Freezeria onwards (Papa's Pizzeria To Go! onwards for To Go! games), the player can manually place decorations wherever they want. The items in the lobby can only be changed before or after an in-game day is played. Players are not allowed to change items or posters in the lobby while the game is being played. Customers can also interact with furniture items, such as dancing to a boombox, drinking beverages, or playing an arcade game.
