AN: Just a continuation and a growth of fast foods in Orario. More fun stuff to come. And so the fast food wars heat up but when all the competition is owned buy the same familia, it really is a one sided battle.

ghost777 and PittBullBytes:- And that's only the start of the Hestia familia empire. All because they are better at modern business management and advertising techniques. Orario won't know what hit them.

Fate Grand Disorder

Chapter 10 – Restauranters

It had been a busy morning for Bell Cranel. He had sweated through all morning with his exercise regime and then sparred for most of the day with Yan Qing before Heracles had taken to mentoring him on weight training with the heaviest rocks they could find. So when goddess Hestia had asked him to help cover the afternoon shift at McHestias he had happily agreed taking it as a break of sorts from the vigorous training he had been put through. Although he had not seen the dungeon in almost two weeks, he did feel he was rapidly getting stronger and faster and more powerful by the day. His spars were lasting longer and Yan Qing had to try just a fraction harder to beat him into submission.

Berserker Cu Chulainn Alter grunted as the bell 'dinged', signifying that he had to turn the beef patties over. This was not what he had envisioned himself doing when he had heard that they had found a new world to call their own. Adjusting his pink apron he grunted again as he continued on his work. He was promised it would only be for a few weeks maximum until Hestia manages to hire people to work at the store.

Rider Sakata Kintoki shook the potato fries as he took them out of the deep fryer and splashed a generous serving of salt onto them as he was satisfied with the colour of the fries. In happiness he yelled out "GOOOOOLDEN!" as he scooped them into little paper holders.

Bell Cranel, Ritsuka Fujimaru and the purple bob-haired Shielder Mash Kyrielight manned the front counters as the customers kept pouring in to sample the new foods on offer. Tamamo Cat and Arturio Pendragon, dressed in maid outfits were busy outside handing out flyers advertising the opening of the new McHestias store and a new store opening soon near the entrance to town as well as another planned in the market place. All in all, business was good.

ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

Syr Flover, barmaid at the Hostess of Fertility watched from across the road curiously as people went into and out of the McHestias store across the road from her. Even Mia Grand noticed that even though their store was also full, the through traffic was different. In Mia's pub people would come, order a meal and sit for an hour or two drinking. In that time they would order three maybe four drinks before finally leaving allowing the next patron to come through. McHestias however had people coming in, ordering and sitting down for a few minutes to half an hour at most and then leaving. This was not even counting the amount of people who ordered 'take away' and left immediately, so business never stopped. Even charging less than the Hostess, their turn around meant that they were more than tripling their profits even on the best days. Mia had enough business savvy to realise this was going to make business difficult for her. The saving grace was that McHestias did not serve alcohol.

Having no option but to gather information Mia had asked the grey-haired Syr to go across the road to purchase some of their product purely for investigations purposes. She waited in line and although it was quite a long line she was surprised by how fast it moved and in no time at all she was the front of the line staring blankly at the large menu displayed behind the counters, hanging off the ceiling.

When she finally approached the counter, her breath caught in her throat as she stared at the boy before her. She was good at reading people and had a good sixth sense about a persons personality, after all studying people was her hobby and passion. What she saw was the kindest and most caring face in the world smiling at her. Her stomach fluttered. He was really cute as well.

"Welcome to McHestias, may I take your order please?" Bell welcomed his new customer.

Stunned and not thinking she did the thing she usually did when meeting new people. She reached into her pocket a drew out a small monster crystal and said, "I'm sorry sir. You seemed to have dropped this outside." She presented the small crystal to him with both hands.

Bell shook his head and politely replied, "I'm sorry. You must be mistaken. I haven't been to the dungeon in weeks. It must be someone else's."

When her usual pick up line failed, her cheeks blushed a deep ruby as she lowered her eyes and was surprised that he wore a name tag. She read it and found out his name was Bell. "Can I take your order please." The boy was polite yet very professional.

Looking up she realised she didn't know what she wanted so she decided to just order what looked good from the menu. "I'll… I'll have a… McHestia burger please." This was essentially a Big Mac!

Bell nodded as he tapped a few buttons on console. "Would you like fries and a drink with that?" he asked, "it's only one hundred valis more."

"Um... sure…"

Tap, tap, tap and he turned back to her, "What size meal would you like, miss. It's only another one hundred valis more for each size up."

"Um… medium…"

"What drink you like?"

Looking up, she didn't recognise any drinks on the menu so she randomly read off one of the names. "Um… Coke?"

Tap, tap, tap, ding! "Would you like any desserts with that?" he beamed at her. His customer service was really good and could even teach the Hostess of Fertility a thing or two.

"Um… sure…" Looking again at the menu she again didn't recognise any of the desserts on offer but when the image of a burger changed into a different image showing something that looked rather delectable she knew what dessert she wanted to try. "I'll have a soft serve thanks."

Once her order was taken and she had paid she was given a receipt and asked to wait in line at the pick up counter until her number was called. Before she could leave, Bell thanked her for her customs. "Thank you. As an introductory offer for the opening of our store we are offering free key rings for every meal purchase." He explained as he handed her a key ring with a kitten sitting on top of a 'Hello Kitty' sign.

She had just fallen for the marketing technique of upselling and cross-product merchandising.

ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

Goddess Freya hadn't come to McHestias purely for a meal. She had actually come here to check in on her favourite adventurer Bell Cranel and hopefully find some way to impart her little gift to him.

She had ordered the smallest burger on the menu, the McLoki burger which was equivalent to the cheeseburger and as she ate it she giggled at the irony. The McHestia burger was the biggest burger on the menu and the McLoki burger was the smallest. Really… Hestia could be so spiteful when she wanted to be.

It was later that night when business had started to slow down a bit when Freya finally found her chance to pass on her little gift. Bell had finally found a gap in the customers to rush out with his broom and dustpan and started to wipe down tables and gather up trash from around the few tables that were in the restaurant. Noticing a woman in a hooded cloak get up and leave, he walked past her saying, "Thank you for visiting McHestias," to which she curtly nodded.

Reaching her now empty table, he began wiping it down with a rag and a bottle of what Da Vinci called 'Antiseptic spray'. When he got to the seat he realised that she had left a book behind but when he turned around to call her he could no longer see her anywhere. She must've been in a rush. Picking up the book, he decided to hand it in to Da Vinci, as the acting store manager and hopefully it could be returned to its rightful owner when she comes back to retrieve it.

Out of curiosity he opened the book and started to read it but the moment his eyes fell on the first word he was drawn in and mesmerised. All anyone knew was Bell had gone out to clean up and then he had suddenly collapsed. Out of concern for his health DaVinci had ordered Mash to carry him home. Maybe he was just exhausted from a long day.

ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

Loki and her familia had gone into the city to try out the food from Hestia's new restaurant. News of its opening was buzzing around town so out of curiosity she decided to try it. She was surprised and a little bit suspicious when she saw a burger named after her so she decided to order it. When she had received her order she noticed that her burger was tiny, especially when measured up against the McHestia burger that Ais had ordered.

In a fit of rage she realised that the shorty was mocking her and even worse it was soon going to become a household name if the amount of McHestia restaurants touted for opening were true. By her authority she declared that no one from her familia was to dine at McHestias and if anyone was ever found to be eating a McLoki burger they would be instantly thrown out of her familia. "That damn midget!" She was going to make Hestia pay the next time she saw her.

Angrily she stormed next door to the HFC store for dinner instead, throwing away her McLoki burger! That Hestia was not going to earn a single valis from either her or her familia. Little did she know that HFC stood for Hestia Fried Chicken.
