Gnome Restaurant
Gnome Restaurant is a minigame that involves the art of Gnome cooking and delivering this food to various customers as quickly as possible. The activity is run by Aluft Gianne Jr on the first floor of the Grand Tree, in the Tree Gnome Stronghold.
How to play
Players start by speaking to Aluft Gianne Jr in the Grand Tree. He is located north of the bank on the west side of the first floor. Before starting, players are introduced to the art of Gnome cooking and Gnome cocktails in the form of a small tutorial. Aluft Gianne Sr, located one platform east of Junior, will get the player to prepare four different gnome dishes. Blurberry is located on the same floor, but in the south-east section of the tree. He will get the player to prepare four different cocktails.
Once players have completed the cooking and cocktail-making introduction, they can start running a delivery service around Gielinor. Aluft Gianne Jr will give the player a new task in the form of a Delivery box. The player may choose an easy task, which involves a delivery in or around the Grand Tree, or a hard task, which could be anywhere in Gielinor. Easy tasks have a time limit of 6 minutes, whereas hard tasks have a limit of 11 minutes. Players can click the Delivery box at any time to refresh their memory about the required food and destination.
A player can choose not to accept a hard job, but they will have a 5 minute waiting penalty before they can get another hard job. Although most players wait this time out, it is actually about twice as fast (depending on to whom and what you have to deliver) to do an easy job then return for another hard job.
The delivered food has to be prepared by the player, premade items (bought from the restaurant or bar) can not be used. Items that aren't premade can also be bought from the Grand Exchange but some items take a while to buy. However, it is not required to prepare each food item or drink separately after receiving a new task. In other words, players can prepare several of each of the 20 possible items beforehand and store these in their bank. Since Aluft Gianne Jr is very close to a bank, almost all deliveries can be done in only a few minutes time, which increases the chance for receiving a good tip.

Destinations
Gnome Difficulty reaching Location Tips Requirements ***** On the first floor of Varrock Palace, in the area around the stairs.

None ***** Centre of the stands in the Duel Arena. File:GR Daerkin.png A Ring of duelling teleport to the Duel Arena is the quickest way to reach him. A gnome glider is available to the Al-Kharid gate. A Lumbridge or home teleport can be used as a last resort.

None ***** Battlefield of Khazard, just outside the Tree Gnome Village. File:GR Schepbur.png The Spirit Tree to the Tree Gnome Village is the quickest way.

Trivia
- An earlier version of this activity consisted of players being assigned to bring multiple drinks or dishes to Blurberry or Aluft Gianne Sr. They were then compensated with coins, but rarely more than a few hundred. This was changed in a major update on 7 August 2006.
- Players could skip a delivery and get another one immediately, by having a gnome token (in bank or inventory) and dropping the delivery box. This bug was fixed in November - December, 2008.
- *Warning: spoiler alert!* After completion of While Guthix Sleeps, the player may be assigned to send food to Hazelmere, but the player will inform Gianne Jr. of his death, and receive a new order. If you get assigned to send food to Hazelmere during the quest (while the heroes are in Falador castle) he will only talk about the quest and not acknowledge that you have his order.
- The new order can be from the easy tasks or the hard tasks and has the same rewards.
- If players get Hazelmere as a delivery order, he used to talk after receiving his food, but it has been updated. Hazelmere now "nods in thanks" instead..
- This activity was the first ever to be released. It was launched on 12 December 2002 together with the Agility Skill and the Gnome Stronghold area. However, it was not officially designated as an activity until its major expansion in August 2006.
- Right before your delivery expires you can drop your box and after your order has expired you can pick it up again.
- There is a current glitch where easy orders may tip 1 or 0 coins.
