Grill Gofer
“My ''first restaurant job! This place needs a lot of work but I can’t wait to get started.”''

Starting Dialogue
You: It's nice of the manager to give me a chance, especially with me having zero experience. I'd love to be a chef someday!

Ending Dialogue
Other: Not bad! Maybe you can help give this place a fresh new flavour. Our current reviews stink worse than that weird puddle in the fridge.

You: Oh, so that's what that smell is. Well, even simple changes would be an improvement. Like non-stained napkins?

Other: Hey, if you think you can get the owners to spring for that, go for it! I've just been dimming the lights so people don't notice.

Capable Cuisiner
“I’m sure that we can turn this restaurant around and make it great!”

Starting Dialogue
You: I'm sure once we start to turn this place around, the owners will see its potential, too.

Other: Yeah, maybe they’ll even put in an employee bathroom!

Ending Dialogue
You: Why are all these angry letters from the health inspector posted on the fridge?

Other: We started calling it the wall of shame. Gotta laugh at your problems sometimes.

You: Or we can put some effort in to fix the problems and then we wouldn't get angry letters.

Gifted gourmet
“''This restaurant doesn’t have a great relationship with the health inspector. We can change that!”''

Starting Dialogue
You: It actually won't take much to get this palce up to code. Then maybe we can invite the health inspector back.

Other: Invite the health inspector here? That's like inviting your rivals into your own home. Who does that?

You: We'll get this place up to the highest standards and then we won't have to worry. But, first things first - back to cooking!

Ending Dialogue
You: We'll have to focus on the food if we want more customers. Luckily, that's what we're both passionate about, right?

Other: I lost half of my taste buds in a hot sauce accident, but I still love what I can taste! Yeah!

Flavor Savior
“''The new restaurant menu is paying off. Let’s show these foodies what we can do.”''

Starting Dialogue
You: If we want to attract more customers, we need to overhaul the menu. I mean, your old special was "Deep Fried Mystery."

Other: Well, we had one guy who loved the deep fried mystery special until the "incident." Hmm. Yeah, time for a change.

Ending Dialogue
You: These changes really are starting to make a difference!

Other: I know! People actually are coming here for the food instead of just wanting to use the bathroom.

Epicurean Elite
“Some advertising could really help this restaurant out!”

Starting Dialogue
You: We're getting more customers, but we still don't have as many as we should. Do we advertise anywhere?

Other: I used to be in charge of ads, but then I realized we're the only restaurant in town. So we're the best by default!

You: Wow, maybe we should raise the bar a little before someone hits their head. Let's take out some ads!

Ending Dialogue
Other: Hey, the advertising is starting to work. I'm having trouble keeping up with all these orders. It's great!

You: Shameless promotion works sometimes! I mean, look at all these ads for mobile games that keep popping up on my phone.

Other: I play a mobile life simulator game, but that's it. That reminds me, I have to log in to collect my rewards!

Celebrity Chef
''“The restaurant’s been featured on a public access channel! Maybe this will pull in more customers.”''

Starting Dialogue
Other: Hey, we are featured on public access TV! It's that super gritty show where diners go to their fave hole-in-the-wall places!

You: It's called "Rat-Hole Dining"?! Couldn't they think of a better name?

Other: I think it's catchy! Good theme song, too. I like how they rhymed "spring roll" with "rat-hole."

Ending Dialogue
You: Wow! The phone is ringing off the hook. I guess people saw us on the public access "Rat-Hole Dining" show.

Other: See? Any publicity is good publicity, even if it has the word "rat-hole" in it!

Dish Whisperer
''“Got some good reviews at the restaurant. People really like our food. Let’s make more!”''

Starting Dialogue
You: We got an updated review on the FoodSnobb app!

Other: Four stars! "Innovative and fresh." No sarcasm at all! They even posted pictures. People really like the food!

Ending Dialogue
You: This waitlist for nest weekend is getting insane!

Other: Who knew running a hotspot restaurant would be so much work? I used just to sit around and count the mice.

You: Ew. Let's make sure to scrub everything extra thoroughly today.

Healthy Hot-Shot
''“The health inspector is coming by. Time to set this restaurant up for success!”''

Starting Dialogue
Other: The health inspector called. They're coming by today. I guess they got your letter promising less grossness.

You: Alright. We can do this! Make sure everything's perfect. No fireballs, no explosions, and no fireball explosions.

Other: Relax. This is the health inspector, not the safety inspector.

Ending Dialogue
You: We did it! We got an "A" health score rating. Time to frame this and put it up!

Other: I've never been so proud of any piece of paper ever!

Umami Expert
''“The restaurant has come a long way since I first started. Let’s keep making it better.”''

Starting Dialogue
Other: We just got a call from the Food Fest Fair! They're inviting us to have a booth sometime next year.

You: Oh, wow! That's awesome. That exposure could be big for us! We should start testing our dishes now.

Ending Dialogue
Other: I had my doubts about you, especially after what happened to the last chef, but you really turned this place around! Great job!

You: Thanks! I'm really happy with the way it's turned out and... wait, what happened to the last chef?

Other: Eh, don't worry about it. You've done an amazing job and that's all that matters!
