Alquin's Diner

Alquin’s Diner, known simply as Alquin’s to most Producers, is the most popular diner in the Producer Technocracy. Despite being far from the best quality place to eat, the place has become something of an icon of the culture of the Producers. Its name will always be mentioned by any of those who have worked and lived in the Colonies and Space Cities.

Alquin’s was founded in 2673AP as a small fast-food restaurant in the Pan area of the continent of Apa. It specialised in local dishes such as Thilrok Fillets (a type of fish) and Pil Chips (chips made from the Pil root. Or ‘fries’ if you are American). Over the net number of years the business expanded exponentially, making the most of the globalising economy and new opportunities abroad. The business model worked because it both managed to export its own menu as its own and adapt its menu to add local delicacies. Alquin’s became a culinary hub of the Producers.

At the turn of the age of Space Colonies, Alquin’s became notable as a top colonial destination. Increasing competition on Rellar, such as Indican Pleasure, began to eat away at domestic sales. Indican Pleasure offered higher priced and higher quality foods. Other restaurants such as Gurk’s offered simple new meals making use of synthetic food technology.

Alquin’s therefore was forced to expand its business into Space. Alquin’s can be found on any small colony of the Producers. They can be found on most planets and moons, from Porshon to Artek. This service they provide has earned the business a place in the hearts of Producers from outside of the major settlements and so presents itself as a point of interest for any tourists visiting the systems.
