Tips

Your gourmet points and level only increase if the game is currently running and employees have energy.

Currently, the maximum level is 27. Gourmet points will still continue to accrue after this point.

If employees are at full health, they can go for approximately three hours before they will need food or rest.

One cook can handle three tables efficiently.

All stoves cook at the same rate. More expensive stoves do not increase stats.

The closer the stoves are to the tables, the better since less travel time is needed. The best arrangement for the tables is a semi-circle around the cooks.

An arcade or waiting chairs can be used when you have more customers than you have tables. It keeps the customers occupied long enough for a table to become open.

As each customer leaves, you will receive an approval rating. It will be thumbs up if the customer stayed long enough to eat the meal. The rating will be thumbs down if the wait was too long, the table was dirty, or there were no available seats. If toilets were dirty you will still receive money and gourmet points, but you will not receive a thumbs up.

50.0 is the highest approval rating possible.

Your customer flow increases as your approval rating goes up.

Customers care more about quick service than they do about dirty bathrooms.

The bathrooms are always clean when you first log in even if they were dirty when you logged out.

After 4 customers use a toilet it becomes dirty.

The best ratio of employees is 5 cooks, 2 servers, and 1 cleaner. Alternating the eighth person between cleaning and waiting tables is a good way to maintain maximum approval rating.

Sinks are not necessary and do not affect approval rating.

Each day there is a food quiz. It is multiple choice with three possible answers. If you answer correctly, you receive an ingredient.

Three ingredients are available for purchase daily from the ingredient market located at the top right just outside of the restaurant.

Ingredients can be traded with your friends. Unlocked dishes may be traded immediately. You will have to request a trade for any ingredient that your friend has locked.

The higher the level of your dish, the more gourmet points you receive.

As the level of the dish increases, the color of the plates changes. Dishes start out as broken plates and eventually improve in quality until they reach level 10 when they become golden plates.
