Diner Dash: Flo Through Time

Gameplay involves seating customers as they enter the restaurant. One must drag and drop each group of customers to a table appropriate for their group size. Extra points are given for seating a customer in a chair that is the same color as the customer's clothing. Playing as Flo, the player must then take the customers' orders, send the order to the kitchen, deliver the food, give the group the check, and clean the table for new customers.

There is hardly ever only one group of customers at a time, so the player must use time management in order to keep all of the customers happy. Each group of customers has a row of hearts that indicates their mood. If this meter ever drains out, the customers will leave angry, costing the player a large amount of money, but if the customers remain happy, they will tip well once they leave. Each level has a score goal, indicating the amount of money that one must earn in order to proceed to the next level.

Flo returns to her hometown to visit her Grandma, Florence, only to find the place in such a desperate state it looks like a run-down ghost town. Flo decides to use her culinary skills to rejuvenate the town by improving the eateries at all the formerly popular hangouts.

Flo and Grandma begin with the zoo, only to discover the zoo is now desolate. They head to the cafe, but are appalled at the service. The cafe waiter tells them that the reason for the zoo's poor state is recent funding cuts by the city council. The two rejuvenate the zoo and it becomes successful again.
