I need help finding a 2D game about running a restaurant- and it involved a lot of mini-games and menial tasks. Very simple graphics, too.

Okay, so it was a game about running a restaurant, a free game for PCs I recall. It wasn't online- you had to download it. Extremely simple graphics and colors. I believe you could purchase upgrades like tip jars...?

It also had tons of mini-games that involved things like cooking food to order and filling drink orders just right.

My Google-fu has failed.

Diner Dash?

Response by poster: Definitely pre-Diner Dash. It wasn't a top down view of a restaraunt, I *think*- I have a distinct memory of customers coming in almost sideways, like you were sitting at the counter? I could be wrong about that one.

Also, the graphics were even cruder then that.

Tapper, but the whole thing is basically just one mini-game.

Best answer: Ore No Ryori 2? Screenshots.

Response by poster: AHA! I FOUND IT! Tapper reminded me that there was beer involved, along with Japanese elements.

It's called Ore No Ryomi 2. It may be the nostalgia speaking, but it's pretty awesome...

Yeah. I went to Home of the Underdogs and searched the word restaurant ;)

If you like these kind of games, check out the Papa Louie series, which includes burger making, pizzas, tacos and ice cream shops. They are horribly addictive.
