The Dining Room is a gameplay element added to many of Papa Louie's restaurant time-management games, first appearing in Papa's Pastaria.
It is made available to the players upon reaching Rank 4. Players are able to hire a second "worker", whether it be the second default worker or a second Custom Worker, to take orders from customers.
The server would stand in line for the customer and would give the order to the worker behind the counter. In Papa's Pastaria, the customer appears in the lower right corner of the screen. In future games, a cutscene would see the server take the order from the customer directly, accompanied by a second customer who does not place an order with the server. Before Papa's Freezeria Deluxe, the pairings were always random. However, since Papa's Freezeria Deluxe, the possibility of couples who share something in common (co-workers, family members) sitting together in the Dining Room increased.
The feature was rendered obsolete after Papa's Scooperia/HD due to the discontinuation of web and HD games. Future To Go! apps use the Delivery Phone.
In Papa's Freezeria Deluxe, the Dining Room returned, alternating with the Delivery Phone on consecutive days.
