Restaurant City is a popular Facebook game by Playfish.com that allows players to build and decorate their own restaurant, master different recipes, and trade ingredients and special items. There are constantly new challenges and recipes to master, which makes this game quite addictive. For players who are new to the Restaurant City game, here are a few tips and tricks to help become successful.
Quick Service Is Key in Restaurant City
Set up the restaurant so that waiters can serve customers quickly. One of the best ways to do this is to set up the tables in a U-shape or horseshoe shape in front of the stoves. That way, the waiters have only a minimal distance to walk between the stove and the customers. When customers are served quickly, they leave satisfied, increasing the restaurant's popularity rating. If customers have to wait too long for food, they will leave dissatisfied, decreasing the popularity rating.
If players do not provide enough tables and chairs, customers will leave unhappy. Providing some “waiting area” chairs for customers will prevent them from leaving the restaurant immediately.
A higher popularity rating will draw more customers to the restaurant, increasing the amount of money and gourmet points (crucial for leveling up) the player gains.
Level up Recipes by Gathering Ingredients
Players in Restaurant City must collect ingredients to level up the recipes on their menus. Focusing on one or two recipes at once will help players to level up faster, thus increasing the amount of gourmet points each dish earns.
Players will gain more ingredients by:
- visiting new friends in the Restaurant City neighborhood
- logging in to Restaurant City for several consecutive days
- answering the daily Restaurant City Quiz in your mailbox correctly
- becoming a fan on Restaurant City's Facebook Page, which constantly posts news as well as freebies on its Facebook Wall
- trading ingredients with friends
- visiting friends and opening crates in their restaurants
- receiving free gifts from friends
- clicking on the limited edition items located on the left side of the Restaurant City screen when and if they appear
- buying ingredients at the market using Restaurant City coins or Playfish Cash (players can buy credits in Playfish Cash using real-life money by credit card over Facebook)
- checking friends' Facebook walls for posts that share items, such as gifts from the Gourmet King
Earning Restaurant City Money
Players in Restaurant City must collect money in order to buy items for their restaurant, such as chairs, tables, stoves, drink machines, and more. While serving dishes to customers is one way to earn money, there are other ways for players to increase their Restaurant City money.
- Visit friends and open crates for a coin bonus
- Clean up the trash around friends' restaurants
- Click the trees around restaurants – often coins will fall from the branches
- sell unused items
- send gifts to friends – when they accept, the gift-er receives coins or a special item
- leveling up the restaurant will generate a coin bonus
- returning to the restaurant a short time after a shift has ended will also generate a coin bonus
By following these Restaurant City tips and being smart about the layout of the restaurant, players should have no problem in rapidly leveling up their restaurant in Restaurant City.
