Baldur’s Gate 3 food service AU

Tav: manager. Is frequently asked to drive people to work despite the fact that their car only has three seats. Durge always takes smoke breaks during rushes.

Karlach: line cook. Frequently burns orders and has to remake them. Shamelessly flirts with front of house whenever they bring orders back. Runs insanely hot and can be usually found in the walk-in on breaks.

Astarion: server that everyone thinks is a manager because he constantly tells people what to do and has worked there forever. Nobody has seen him outside of work. Bitchiest gay on the planet but gets along weirdly well with Karlach. Makes Shadowheart serve his exes and grindr hookups so he doesn’t have to talk to them.

Lae’zel: line cook. Previously worked at a chain restaurant and is constantly baffled by how everyone else does things. Will change things about an order and refuse to fix it they complain (they never do, she’s usually right). Curses people out in her native language.

Shadowheart: server. Gets flirted with constantly and hates it. Has customers who are her nemesis and will “accidentally” mess up their orders. Alludes to having grown up in a cult and nobody can tell if she’s kidding. Gossips with Astarion constantly, often to the detriment of their tables.

Gale: bartender. Dated the owner for a while but they broke up and now he keeps getting scheduled for the dish pit and only bartends on like, Tuesdays. Went to culinary school and fails to hide his complex about it. Wears a terrible flatcap while bartending that Shadowheart and Astarion conspire to steal and destroy.

Wyll: former manager who returned to being a line cook because he liked it better. His dad owns a restaurant across town and nobody understands why he doesn’t just work there (🏳️‍⚧️). Invites his coworkers to see him do open mic (only Karlach goes). Will always pick up people’s shifts.

Minthara: server. Used to work at the rival place across the street until she got fired for light embezzlement.

Jaheira: food workers’ union rep.

Minsc: himbo customer who hangs out at the bar a lot. Shadowheart will sicc him on customers when they’re getting unruly. Carries his pet hamster in his shirt pocket at all times.
