Welcome to Pia Carrot (Pia♥キャロットへようこそ!! pia♥kyarotto e yōkoso?) is a Japanese visual novel series by Cocktail Soft (a part of F&C, later F&C FC02). Anime and manga have been based on the games.
The games are all set around restaurants in the fictional "Pia Carrot" chain, and most of the female characters are waitresses at these restaurants. The individual restaurants in the chain are called "1st", "2nd", etc. A maid cafe named "Pia Carrot" also opened in real life as a cosplay restaurant in Akihabara, Japan.
The first game in the series is called Welcome to Pia Carrot and was initially released in 1996 for MS-DOS on the NEC PC-9800 Series and for Windows 3.1. The game was later released for the PC-FX in 1997, and for the Sega Saturn in 1998 by KID.
There is also an adult OVA with 3 episodes based on this title.
