​A management game where the player experiences the painful life of a waitress at an understaffed restaurant through micromanagement and minigames.

A short games jam as proof of concept. In addition to designing the basic initial UI, I designed and implemented quick-time-event minigames, as well as various outcomes that would influence the game's 'customer satisfaction meter'.

Understaffed!
