Fastest Levels

Well, Here all i can suggest is Look at the best Exp/Hour and make them! For the extra Exp whilst wasting cash, delete the food – then Remake! (Obviously the ones that give BIG EXP for the first round of preparation!)

Before leaving the house, going to bed or any other activity that will take you from the computer – put a suitably long dish onto cook. For example, before going to bed (assuming you sleep 10 Hours) i put a Triple Berry Cheesecake onto cook so that when I wake up, its there ready to be served! And therefore i get a resonable large sum of Exp without wasting the night!

Visiting your friends cafe’s and Restuarants everyday will yield you some Exp and Coins that though small, you may aswell get! Consider it a small bonus!

Fastest Money

Here, See best food for money/Hour Section. Currently i am researching the best way to go about doing this.

If you wish to allow more room for more expensive food to get out, make way by removing some less expensive dishes and serving the more expensive ones! They sell for more each, and will last a lot longer therefore increasing the amount of money you gain whilst you are away.

Accept gifts as they will give you cash bonuses for the customers who get them!

Fastest Money AND Exp

This section is for those small tips that fall into both catagories!

Firstly, Minimise the amount of space a waiter has to walk to server the food! Therefore he/she can serve and clean more places, faster – allowing for more people to come in, and more room for dishes to be served instead of them possibly going bad or getting deleted!

If you haven’t realised already, you can cook multiple dishes of the same kind at once, and then serve them on one single serving table! So you can cook 5 stoves of Bacon Cheeseburgers and serve them all on 1 serving table. This means you save space and that might otherwise block you from getting the serving Exp!

When making several stoves dishs you could stagger the time so that they will all finish cooking at either 1 time, or different times throughout the day so that you have a constant steam of food on the serving platters. This is an idea way to ensure constant money flow and exp.

As previously stated, visit your friends cafe’s for that extra presents!

Assisting

Visiting neighbours cafe’s and pending neighbours is a GREAT way to give yourself a small boost in cash, but Exp as well! When visiting you will get to ‘nom nom nom’ down at their restaurants and get rewarded for it! So it is GREAT to visit all your neighbours daily purly to collect the small prizes.

Tips

- Come on every day for a daily bonus!

- Turn the Music off. It is SO ANNOYING

- Some people have suggested removing the doors, so that your buzz cannot go down whilst you are not there. I disargree, keeping your cafe open means you gain money while you are gone.

- Keep your money above 5,000 if you can so that you don’t have to resort to buying the worst Money making food in the event of buying something expensive!

- Good things come to those who wait!

- Accept all Gifts and Use!

    I found this spreadsheet that was very helpful from a Zynga forum. You should take a look at it adjust your information as necessary. :-)

    Sorry for the multiple post, but another glitch I find similar to Farmville is that if you trap your waiter/waitress and cook, the serving and cooking process will be faster because you don’t have to waste time walking around.

    You can trap them by surrounding your stoves and counters around the waiter/waitress and cook. Make sure the handle of the stove is accessible to the cook and the opening of the counter is accessible to the waiter/waitress.

    Can you write a guide for the best items based on build-time? I like making cheeseburgers, but sometimes I want to sleep and need build an 8 hour food item. But which one is best for money or experience points?

    The reason I agree with removing the door when running low on food is because, as your buzz rate lowers so does the number of customers who come in you cafe lower.

    Think maybe they removed the option to delete the dish while its cooking? Because all it says to me is that the dish is still cooking and to wait until its finished.

    You don’t need more than one waiter. All you need is to trap the waiter. And boom. Like magic, your trapped serve will just throw away the food to your guest as if they are frisbees! This is really fun.

    errmm.. trapping the waiter does NOT work..

  17. Posted November 15, 2009 at 7:29 pm

    I-YA!

    I need to update this!

    Sorry Guys! Ill get to it, and my waiters..(all 3) are all trapped :o

    Ypu say trap the waiters. does not work for me. I created a square surrounded by tables with the serving counters inside. Even if I change it WHILE the waiters are inside, when I come out of the change they are all standing outside and never move. Everyone sits there then leaves after not being served!!
