Papa's Cheeseria

Papa's Cheeseria is a game in the Papa Louie series.  It's the eleventh cooking simulator game (aka "Gameria") in the series, and is the sequel to Papa's Donuteria. It involves making grilled cheese sandwiches with fries for the various customers that visit the establishment.
==Plot==
Punk band Scarlet and the Shakers is preparing to put on a show for the opening night of Papa Louie's newest restaurant, Papa's Cheeseria. Rudy/Scarlet//Custom Worker (depending on who you chose to play as) goes down to the western-themed town of Toastwood where the Cheeseria is located to get ready for the show. However, after chatting with Papa Louie, Rudy/Scarlet//Custom Worker discoveries that all the band's instruments have been stolen. The show is cancelled, and Rudy/Scarlet//Custom Worker is distraught as those instruments were pretty expensive. Luckily, Papa Louie is willing to lend a helping hand and offers Rudy/Scarlet//Custom Worker a job at the Cheeseria in order to raise the money needed to buy new instruments. With no other option, Rudy/Scarlet//Custom Worker accepts the position and gets to work.
Much later, police officer Hank enters the Cheeseria and announces that he apprehended the thief who stole the band's instruments. It turns out that the perp was Guy Mortadello, an old business rival of Papa Louie's. Not only that, but Hank was also able to recover all the stolen musical equipment, so Rudy/Scarlet//Custom Worker and his/her bandmates celebrate by hosting a live concert at the Cheeseria.
==Gameplay==
In this game you play as one of the Cheeseria's employees as they spend their days working at the establishment.  When creating a new save file, you can choose to play as either Rudy, Scarlet, or Custom Worker - Custom Worker is a fully customizable character that you can style to your liking by choosing the character's body type, skin and hair color, and clothing.  Each level constitutes one day of business at the Cheeseria.  During a day, a number of customers come in and place orders for sandwiches and fries; each customer will order a group of three donuts.  Most customers approach the front desk to place an order, but a few of them will sit in the dining room and order from there.  The dining room feature is unlocked a few ranks in, and when it's unlocked you have the ability to select a second character to be your server who takes orders from the dining room.
Your objective is to create the food to their specifications; this is done through four different stations: one for taking orders, two for making the sandwiches, and one for making the fries.  When a meal is completed and sent to a customer, the customer will judge the food based on how long they had to wait for it and how accurately the food matches their order, and give a corresponding score. If a customer gives a high score, they will also give you a tip, along with up to three minigame tickets.
The points you get from customer scores give you XP that goes towards achieving a higher rank, allowing you to advance through the game and unlock more of its content, granting you access to more ingredients and attracting new customers to the establishment.  Additionally, advancing through the game's ranks also takes you through seasons and holidays; as you climb through the game's ranks, the game will advance through the months of the year, each one represented by a different holiday.  Each holiday has its own set of special holiday toppings that are only available during that respective holiday.  Certain customers favor a specific holiday and are more likely to order holiday-exclusive ingredients while their favorite holiday is active.
Meanwhile, the tips can be used to buy decorations for your lobby and upgrades to make it easier to make the food.  However, said decorations have a value called freshness; a decoration's freshness slowly goes down the longer it's left in the lobby, making it slowly become less effective over time - this makes it important to switch up your decorations every once in a while so you can keep getting maximum bonuses from them.  Meanwhile, the minigame tickets are used to access and play minigames of varying nature after each day; these minigames give various rewards including extra tips and new furniture if you win them.
The ultimate goal of the game is to reach a high enough rank to unlock everything. Aside from customers, there are two other ways to earn tips: weekly paydays and badges.  Paydays give you a large amount of tips once every seven days, and badges are in-game achievements that give you a small tip once completed.
In addition to earning tips and points, doing well on a customer's order also gives the customer a star. When a customer gets five stars, they get a Customer Medal that causes them to give you higher tips when you do well. The medal gets upgraded every five stars; the first medal customers obtain is the Bronze Medal, then the Silver Medal, and finally the Gold Medal.
Aside from normal customers, you also have to contend with Closers; the Closers are a group of seven customers that are more picky about their food than normal customers, and will judge you more harshly when critiquing the food you give them.  One Closer always appears as the last customer of each day (except for Day 1), and unlike normal customers, they don't appear randomly; each Closer is tied to one day of the week.  On Sundays, the most judgmental Closer of all, Jojo the Food Critic, will visit the Cheeseria.  His scoring is even harsher than the other six Closers', and unlike any other customer in the game, he orders something completely different every time he visits.  If you serve him well, Jojo will reward you with a Blue Ribbon award; the Blue Ribbon stays on your counter for the next three days, causing customers to give you higher tips during that time.  Also worth noting is that each of the Closers favors all of the holidays.

== Ranks ==
== Minigames ==
*Rico's Chiliworks: You're faced with a wall full of pipe pieces, and your goal is to rotate all the movable pieces so that they all connect together to form a full pipe that will pour chili into the empty bowl on one side of the room. If you run out of time or send the chili flowing in without closing all the gaps in the pipe, the chili will spill, you lose. The pipe piece arrangements get trickier the more times you win this game.
*Pizza Pachinko: Your task is to drop a metal ball from the top of the screen into a field of pizza-themed obstacles in hopes of it landing in the center hole; if it lands in the center hole, you win.  The placement of the obstacles gets trickier the more times you win this game.
*Papa's Raceway: You are one of three contestants in a go-kart race, and your goal is to beat the other two racers to the finish line.  Collect coins to speed up, and avoid running into obstacles which will slow you down.
*Mitch's Mess: Your task is to search Mitch's extremely messy room for a few items displayed at the bottom of the screen before the time runs out.  If time runs out or you click on the wrong item three times, you lose.  The number of items increases the more times you win this game.
*Sundae Shot: Ice cream-themed food monsters run and fly across the screen, and you have to shoot as many of them as you can using a bottle of Strawberry Syrup before time runs out.  If you shoot enough of the enemies by the time the game ends, you win.
*Blender Ball: Your task is to roll a ball of cookie dough onto a board with several holes.  Choosing the appropriate level of power, you have to try to get the ball into the small hole with a star symbol above it; if you do, you win.
*Hallway Hunt: You're shown four customers, each one standing in front of a door.  You're then assigned a customer, and the screen goes completely black with only the customers' eyes being illuminated.  The eyes will move around for a short while, leaving it up to you to keep track of which pair of eyes is your customer's.  After this, the screen lights back up with all four customers hiding behind a door, and you have to pick one of the doors.  If you pick the door your assigned customer was hiding behind, you win.  The blackout gets more challenging the more times you win this game; extra pairs of eyes will start entering the screen to confuse you.
