Important Tips and Reminders

Sunday, October 11, 2009

Exploring your Restaurant. To scroll around your restaurant and its surroundings, click and hold onto your left mouse button inside the restaurant and drag or move it to the desire place of your restaurant.

Extra Money/Coin. You can shake trees (found around the restaurants) for money by clicking on them. So go around to your friends' place and shake their trees too.

Extra Money/coins and Points. Earn extra cash and GP (gourmet points) by clearing up your trash and trashes on other restaurants. To clear trash, click on it with your mouse.

Saving Money/Energy of your Employees. To avoid over-exhausting your employees when you leave the game for more than 3 hours, simply remove the door or place an item (such as a deco tree or mailbox) in front of your door. The place will be empty.

Leaving the Restaurant. Feed your workers so they have max health then 'save and quit' before you go to sleep or head out for >5 hours. When you load the game again, you should get an earning of 2000 coins. Your employees may be lying there exhausted but you can fix that with a sandwich (Please note that you MUST 'save and quit' FIRST. Do not let it run on your computer while you are gone.)

Food Quiz Tips. Missed out on an ingredient cause you didn't get the daily food quiz question right? Check the compilation of questions and correct answers for you!

Reaching 50 Popularity. You can distract the extra customers with arcade machines! They will play and then leave the restaurant without decreasing your popularity points. It is highly recommendable to have an arcade rather than toilets. You lose nothing when customers don't find toilets but you decreased the thumbs down (of customers our of chair) with arcade video game.

Toilets and Sinks. Apart from the arcade machine, sinks and toilets, the other decoration items are currently not interactive so spend your money wisely on items that you need.

Important Restaurant Tip:

Spending Money Wishly. Focus first on leveling up your recipes (focus first one recipe from Starter, Main, Deserts and Drink). Don't learn other recipe immediate because they will never effect much on your leveling. One level 10 recipe is better (will always give you 2.8 GP) against many levelled recipe which will only give you less gourmet points. Even when you learned how 2 dishes or more, still serve only one dish that have the highest level.

Another Important Restaurant City Tip.
Saving Money against Decorating your restaurant. I recommend to spend your money in buying important ingredients on Recipe Vendor rather than immediately decorating your restaurant. Once those ingredients you badly needed was vended, buy enough already to max out the level of your recipe. Besides, it is easier to gain money and decorate your restaurant once you levelling up so fast because of your max out recipes.

Waiter or Chef vs Cleaner. You will never get thumbs down for having no toilet, yes you will gain more thumbs up for toilets but not Gourmet Points and earnings. So your employee will be more effective if you put him/her as chef or waiter instead of a cleaner, this way, he/she is a big help on levelling. On other tip's reference, arcade machine is the solution for reaching 50 Popularity.

Clean Trick for Gaining More Ingredients. Make another account. With other account will gain more plus ingredients which ease enough gaining the ingredients you really need. When you let them both level up, you can exchange gift items and test more effective set up for your restaurants.

Thumbs down from Unseen Trash. Sometimes you may miss trash because it's concealed by another object. Simply click the "Redecorate" or "Street View" button, then return to your restaurant. The trash will have shuffled around to a different random spot, and you should probably be able to see it!

Efficient Employee Health. Try not to let the health of your workers go below 80% as their efficiency will decrease quite signficantly. In my case, even when my employees are about in 60% range of health, my restaurant is still capable of playing around 49 - 50 popularity, see this very effective restaurant layout.

Cleaning Toilets without a Cleaner. Got no cleaner to clean toilets? Or are they ignoring the dirty toilets? Redecorate your restaurant and remove/box in your toilets then put them back. Good as new! Much easier and faster than having a cleaner.
