Returning to Hometown Hero are secret levels, special unlockable levels that can only be accessed when you complete the entire restaurant with all expert scores. You just continue to play to see how much money you can earn. The player also has the option of playing a "continuous shift" where there are no levels or story. New elements are also added such as spills or desert in different levels in order to make the game more challenging and interesting. As the player moves from level to level, they are able to select new upgrades for the restaurant. Each level has a money goal that one must reach in order to continue on to the next level.
However, if the customers remain happy, they will stay and tip well. If the mood drops low enough, the customers will leave and you lose money. Each group of customers has a row of hearts at their table in order to show their mood. 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.
Then, Flo must take their orders, send the order to the kitchen, deliver the food, give the group the check, and clean the table for new customers. Extra points are given for seating a customer in a chair that is the same color as the customer's clothing. One must drag and drop each group of customers to a table appropriate for their group size.
