[LAS] Shop Retail Donut Joe's Restaurant and Take Out

A rather tired and worn bakery specialising in Donuts and Ice-cream Shakes. Cheap and cheerful - and it has karaoke! Includes restroom, kitchen area with cookers, ovens, cold stores and pot-wash and customer service area with POS.

UPDATED with an automatic donut maker, additional trays of donuts (uses the billboards) and streamlined sales point and karaoke screens. If you want the trays to show donuts and the detail on the monitors you will need the Donuts, EFTPOS and Karaoke JPGs in your UserMedia folder, but it will work fine without them.

Joe found it funny, the contrast between there and here. The street outside his shop was never so desolate, never so dead, as on Hearth’s Warming Eve. Ponies all had somewhere else to be.

His smile – not large to begin with – slipped as his gaze drew upwards. Across the street stood one of those modern cafes that were springing up around the city. Under a fashionably golden roof, it offered music clubs and caramel espressos. It even boasted Fancy Pants as a regular, drawing the trendy of Canterlot in like flies to overpriced crepes.

Its windows were dark. The whole street was dark, save for a pink glow from Joe’s storefront. A tacky neon sign announced, ‘DONUT JOE’S,’ to the snow-swept pavement.

“Donut Joe’s Pastries.” Joe said the store’s full name, letting the last word descend to a grumble. “Not for long.”

He couldn’t compete. Joe’s store was no less tacky than his sign, with its linoleum floor and mismatched tables. Across from his counter, a karaoke set collected dust on a barren stage. There were no music clubs or caramel espressos at Donut Joe’s. There was just a baker, so desperate for money that he stayed open Hearth’s Warming Eve. He only had enough left to get the store through March.

About the only edge Joe had over the competition was the price. His donuts were a quarter-bit each, which was as cheap as they came in Canterlot.

They were cheap enough to draw in the customers, at least. Even on Hearth’s Warming.

Especially on Hearth’s Warming.
