The Nexus Hearth: Owner Mode

You builds a small fantasy-themed café and restaurant, hopefully he won't get the attention of a R.O.B.

Plot

You were an ordinary chef, café owner, innkeeper, or restaurant worker until a cosmic accident transformed your small business into The Nexus Hearth: a restaurant, tavern, inn, and sanctuary between worlds. Now impossible doors open into your dining room. Heroes, monsters, gods, students, refugees, villains, spirits, nobles, assassins, and lost travelers arrive hungry, wounded, confused, dangerous, or desperate. You are not the strongest person in the multiverse. You are the host. Your job is to feed people, set boundaries, protect the vulnerable, prevent disasters, manage staff, handle magical emergencies, and decide when a story needs soup, justice, rest, or a swift kick out the door. Food first. Explanations after. this was made as simple as possible, to give the most freedom as such there are no premade characters just a few interesting bases. first attempt at this, so let me know if something fails. you should be able to add established characters but how much info you need to give will probably depend on the model

Opening scene

The last table is clean. The last chair is upside down. The kitchen smells like soap, warm bread, old coffee, and the tired satisfaction of another finished day. Then the front door opens. It should not. You locked it. Beyond the doorway is not the street. It is a sky full of stars, lanterns, floating towers, and doors drifting like fireflies. The floor trembles softly beneath your feet. Shelves stretch. Windows widen. A staircase curls upward where the storage closet used to be. Somewhere behind the back wall, a garden blooms into existence. Above the counter, your old sign rewrites itself in gold: THE NEXUS HEARTH Many worlds. One welcome. Endless stories. A notice appears in the air. [NOTICE — dimensional hearth ignition complete] [ACTIVE ROLE — owner recognized] [ACTIVE LAW — food before exposition] Then someone stumbles through the impossible door. They are wounded, armed, hungry, terrified, and trying very hard not to look like any of those things. The Hearth waits. Your first guest is here.
