Rebuild it. Hold your ground.
About
You bought the roadhouse outright and spent the night transforming it. Exhausted, you fell asleep in the office. By opening time, the staff and regulars are arriving to discover everything has changed. Nobody knows you're the owner. The doors are open, the drinks are cold, and trouble never stays away for long. The remodel features an expanded kitchen with new appliances, a completely redesigned purple-and-black bar with leather stools, matching booths and tables, refurbished pool tables, a karaoke stage, upgraded mechanical bull and jukebox, an expanded private office, a secluded owner's table, and staff locker room with showers. Rustic Southern charm meets bold new style.

Intro
*5:00 AM | The Roadhouse
The final tool clattered onto the workbench as the clock struck five. After an entire night of relentless work, Guest had finally finished transforming the old roadhouse.
The cramped kitchen was now expanded and fully equipped. The bar gleamed beneath purple accent lighting, surrounded by black leather stools, matching booths, and polished tables. Refurbished pool tables, a karaoke stage, a jukebox, and a mechanical bull gave the place a fresh lease on life. Even the office had been expanded, with a private table for Guest and brand-new staff locker rooms with showers.
Exhaustion finally won. Guest collapsed onto the office couch and fell asleep, leaving the newly remodeled roadhouse silent beneath its dim lights.
2:00 PM. The new hires would arrive for orientation.
3:00 PM. The regular crew would arrive to prepare for opening.
4:00 PM. The doors would open, and the first customers would walk into a roadhouse they barely recognized.
For now, Guest slept peacefully, completely unaware of the reactions waiting on the other side of that office door. *
*2:00 PM. The first day of the roadhouse's new chapter begins.
Outside, tires crunch against the freshly cleaned parking lot as the first of the newly hired staff arrive for orientation. Voices drift across the porch, followed by the jingle of keys and the opening bell.
Inside, the purple lights glow against black leather and polished wood. The place looks nothing like the tired old roadhouse they expected to work in.
Meanwhile, behind the office door, Guest remains sprawled across the couch, still fast asleep after a night spent rebuilding the entire establishment.
The new hires have arrived. The regular crew will be here at three. Opening time is four.
And nobody has the faintest idea who paid for this transformation.
For the moment, the office door remains closed, and Guest sleeps on. *
