"Three more orders!" Patty shouted as she burst through the kitchen doors, walking as fast as she could without breaking into a full-on sprint.
"Booth 10, ready to go out!" Tiana called out as she finished plating the last dish of the order.
"Booth 10 going out," Patty repeated before scooping up the serving tray laden with food and whisking it right back out the door.
"Order tickets," I called out over my shoulder, knowing that Tiana would understand what I wanted.
Even without looking, I could hear Tiana reach up and pull down the three tickets that Patty had pinned up, "First order Table 5, Two Grilled Salmon and Broccoli, Second order Table 6, One Lobster, Two Steak Frites, One Steak and Potatoes, and three salads. Third order…shit…table fifteen, three grilled salmon and broccoli, three steak frites, two lobster, and one steak and potatoes!"
Tiana's tone was clearly stressed and overwhelmed, and I couldn't help but share her sentiment. Even with all our prep-work, I hadn't anticipated the system deciding to hit me with the realism hammer with no heads up.
'I guess it decided to take the training wheels off with a new mechanic.' I thought darkly, reviewing the notification that had appeared the moment I realized things weren't going as smoothly as they should be.
[New mechanic unlocked: Satisfaction]
Info: Satisfaction is an income modifier determined by comparing the cooking speed modifier and the current capacity of the restaurant. If the difference between the two calculated rates is negative, a penalty will be applied to the generated revenue.
Currently, your capacity is 56, and your cooking speed modifier is 50%, resulting in a -6% satisfaction rating and a corresponding reduction in profits. Increase your cooking speed to avoid penalties, and, in the future, find unique items and opportunities to apply a positive bonus to your satisfaction rating to apply a positive modifier to earnings.
In the long term, the new mechanic was nothing but a boon, and another way to minmax in the game that was my life. But I couldn't be concerned with the long term when I had a queue of orders half a mile long and tens of hungry mouths to feed.
'It also means that my plan to max out my capacity is only gonna end up biting me in the ass, I'll need to buy some appliances for the kitchen, to get rid of that negative value first, and then start trying to figure out how to get a positive rating.'
"This is brutal," Tiana muttered under her breath, breaking me out of my musings as she started filling another pot ot boil another batch of lobster, "We haven't had a single moment of downtime, and we're not even halfway through service."
"That's on me, I didn't think things through, and now, unfortunately, we're both paying for it. But I can assure you that come tomorrow, we'll be prepared for the big rush." I swore with a determined look in my eyes, "We just gotta get through today."
Just then, the kitchen doors swung open once more, undercutting my rousing speech as Megan stormed in with four more tickets in hand, "Four more orders!"
"Yeah, just gotta get through today," Tiana muttered in a slightly broken tone as she mechanically walked over to read off the tickets.

"I think I must have walked up those stairs at least a hundred times tonight," Patty muttered, her eyes half closed, dragged down by the weight of exhaustion, "I feel like I'm about to fall asleep any second."
"W-well, I'd do it s-sooner r-rather than later-mmmh-because I'm a-about to t-tap out!" Megan forced her words in between breathless gasps and moans as I buried my face in her chest, licking and suckling the smooth, supple skin while our hips grinded against each other underneath the steaming hot water.
After coming home from the restaurant, there was a silent yet collective yearning to test out the hot-tub-sized bath in the master bedroom, hoping it would melt away the stress of the day.
But of course, the combined need to relieve some stress and the sight of Patty and Megan's wet, naked bodies glistening under the lights had me craving something else warm and wet.
"Just hold out for ten more minutes," Patty murmured drowsily as she slipped further into the tub, "I just need ten minutes!"
"I-I can't, h-he's being all slow and gentle! I-it's not fair!" Megan protested as she tried to lift her hips and ride me at her usual furious pace, but my arms wrapped around her waist kept her pinned, forcing Megan to endure the slow yet constant waves of pleasure that drove her crazy.
Lifting my head from her chest for the first time I pressed my lips against Megan's neck leaving behind a slew of hickey's, "Tell me to stop and I will, but we both know you won't."
My hand reached down and grabbed Megan's ass gripping and squeezing her soft milky flesh until it spilled out in between my fingers, "But we both know you won't, because you love feeling me so deep inside you."
Megan's only response was a deep sultry moan as she collapsing against my shoulder and her entire body trembled with the powerful release. Holding her against me I continued to grind away with my hips causing my dick to stirr up her inisdes and rubbing against the entrance of her womb.
"You're an evil…evil man," Megan murmured as she kissed my shoulder before slowly working her way up my neck and ending at my lips where we shared a deep kiss.
After a long moment Megan pulled away and rolled off to the side leaning back against the wall of the tub, "I did the best I could Patty, it's all up to you now."
"Huh?" Patty eyes slowly opened but before she could fully register was what happening my hands were already around her waist and flipping her over, "Eep!"
Patty ended up turned around hanging over the side of the tub with her ass sticking out above the water as I knelt down behind her while shifting into my demon form, "H-hey what are you doing back ther- o-oh god~!"
Patty's entire body melted into a puddle as my hands pulled apart her perky round cheeks exposing her two twitching pink holes inviting me in. Leaning in I pressed my lips against Patty's dripping slit humming slightly before sliding my long tongue in between her folds and into her sopping wet cunt.
"Wow, that looks like fun," Megan commented shamelessly watching as I ate her best friend out, "How does it feel Patty?"
"F-fuck fantastic," Patty gasped as she bit her lip and gripped the edge of the bathtub so hard that her knuckles turned white, "R-ramon w-what ever you do, d-don't stop!"
I hummed in acknowledgement, making Patty moan as her pussy clamped down on my tongue and drenched my taste buds in her sweet juices that tasted like citrus, "Mngh..soo good~"
I gorged myself on Patty's nectar, lapping up every single gush as I teased her most sensitive spots with my nimble and flexible tongue that twisted and contoured into all different kinds of shapes and configurations. In only a matter of minutes, Patty had turned into a nonverbal mess, letting out nonsensical moans with each twist of my tongue.
When she was good and gone, I pulled out my tongue and stood, only needing a brief second to line up my cock with Patty's soaking wet entrance before slamming myself in to the very base.
"Ahhh!" Patty gasped, and her back bent like a bow as she shot up, "~Soooo deeep~!"
With both hands around her waist, I held Patty up as I started to thrust in and out of her, the clap of my hips against her perky ass punctuating each stroke. I started off fast from the very beginning, knowing that I wouldn't be able to last long after fucking Megan without finishing myself.
Barely a minute had passed before I suddenly picked Patty up by the waist until she was standing upright and leaning against me. My hands slid up and cupped her generous chest while my tail wrapped around her thigh and squeezed like a vice, "You ready to feel me fill you up?"
"Yesss~!" Patty hissed as she looked up at me with wide, unfocused eyes, "Give it to me~!"
Hearing the magic words, my nuts churned, sending a bucket's worth of cum pouring into Patty's cunt, filling her up to the brim.
"Hmmm, that was nice," Patty muttered as she slowly relaxed against my body, her eyes already drifting off as her eyelids drooped.
"Don't fall asleep just yet," Megan suddenly spoke up as she stood up and walked over, her eyes fixated on the thick pearls of cream dripping down Patty's thigh, "After all I still haven't gotten a taste tonight."
