RESTAURANT CITY TIPS TO LEVEL UP QUICKLY

1. Focus on leveling on ONE type of starter, main and dessert. Be open to trading so you can collect items required to level up your chosen specific meals. You will get more gourmet points when customers order dishes of greater level

2. Arrange your tables in this manner; where everyone is seated close to the cooks so the waiters do not have to waste time walking:

3. Due to my preference of the seating arrangement above, I would add two or three tables for each cook I have.
At the moment, I have 4 cooks, 2 waiters and 10 tables.
You will have to make your own judgment by adjusting the number of tables, seating arrangement but as a rough* guide:
With 1 cook, 1 waiter = 3 tables
With 2 cooks, 1 waiter = 6 tables
With 3 cooks, 1 waiter = 8 -9 tables
With 4 cooks, 2 waiters = 10 -12 tables
numbers and see what your staff can handle as it differs with the way you arranged your tables and where your cooks are!

4. Go to the trading forum and try trading for ingredients and items that you want!

5. If possible, try to find someone who wishes to level up dishes completely different from yours (of which require different ingredients to yours) so you can trade and help each other to advance!

6. Want to tell your friends the items you need? Use your restaurant name to leave a message such as "Need Leeks and Potatoes". It's a simple, clever and effective way of saying what you want!

7. Can't decide whether to bar the door or leave your restaurant run while you sleep? Just let it run anyway (after you've logged out of course). Read Useful Tip #5 to find out why!

8. Adding "temporary" friends may help you get more ingredients but please be aware that Facebook will shut your account down if you add too many friends within a short period of time. [URL=http://www.facebook.com/help/question.php?id=1385]Please read this.[/URL]

9. To delay the customers' journey to their tables, create a barrier by arranging dividers or any deco items from the doorway leading towards the dining area. This will allow more time for the waiters to clear the tables
