  Dev Log #2: Hire a Crew

  You've been running the whole lounge yourself. Now you can hire people. You can hire a crew Ten people are looking for work, each with their own name, face and wage. Every hire can do all ten jobs in the lounge. There are no locked roles, so what separates two people is their traits and the job board you hand them. The board lists ten jobs in the order you put them, each with an on/off switch and that person's skill in that job. You can reorder it in the middle of a rush. Telling someone to stop bussing tables and get on the register is the kind of call an owner makes with a full room, so it isn't locked behind the build phase. Skill grows per job.

Right-click anyone on the floor to see what they're doing, what they've done today, and what's queued up behind it. The health inspector Word gets around a day or two before he arrives. Then he walks in unannounced and tours the room while service carries on around him. His grade is itemized and it goes straight onto your reputation. Keep the place clean and he'll leave you alone longer. Have a fire and he'll be back sooner. Guests arrive by taxi, car and bus Parties used to appear on the same patch of pavement out front. Now a taxi, sedan, hatchback or bus pulls up to the kerb, drops its party off and drives away. There's a bus shelter to wait under. Tables you can book ahead Parties call to reserve a table, and the promise is real. That table is held, nobody else gets seated at it, and a badge floats over it until they arrive. Keep the booking and a bonus lands on their bill. Miss it and the door tells you exactly...
