Restaurant Rescue features four new customer types:
*[[Jogger]]s
*Families
*[[Cellphone]] Addicts
*[[Book]]worms
as well as:
*[[Business]]women
*Seniors
*Young Ladies

Each customer is unique in terms of patience, tipping and disliking of noise.
----

New to ''Diner Dash 2'' is noise disturbance; Cellphone Addicts are constantly talking, and will thus annoy other customers. Families and Joggers don't mind noise, but Bookworms get very annoyed, and it is a moderate dislike to other customers; the Family's baby is always noisy when unhappy, unless he's in a highchair (in which case, he's only noisy if the family gets upset waiting for service). Diner Dash 2 adds highchairs for babies, a mop for cleaning up spilled drinks, a dessert bar that customers can browse after eating (only if they have five whole or four and a half hearts), a phone to call for assistance from either a receptionist, a drink server, a busboy, or entertainers, and a bench (to boost happiness while in line). Back from the first Diner Dash are the [[drink]] station, [[snack]] station, and [[podium]].

Also new is the ability to choose different diner upgrades. As play proceeds, the player is given multiple options for the newest restaurant feature; when presented with a chance to upgrade the counter, for example, the player will be given three options from which to choose (you must attain an expert score on the previous level to have all options available in the current level).

After the player completes level 40 at Toshiro's Grill, he/she gets to play the last ten levels at the big Flo's Skylight Lounge Restaurant.

At Flo's Skylight Lounge, Flo can now handle four items at a time, with Mr. Big serving as her assistant waiter. In this case each customer is valuable, because a customer leaving upset costs one thousand points, and the customers are well-dressed.
