How To Play Restaurant City

Cooking in Restaurant City – Upon starting Restaurant City, you’ll need to assign yourself a job (i.e. Chef). You next step is to hire a waiter to dish out the food you’re going to be preparing for your customers. The game will pretty much walk you through these steps making it easy to get your restaurant open for business. Once it’s ready you’ll receive a cash bonus for making your restaurant fully functional. At that point you can select the kind of foods you want to cook and your character will automatically prepare what you tell it to make.

Collecting ingredients in Restaurant City – There’s a large selection of recipes and ingredients that can be utilized but not all of them are immediately available. That is, you’ll have to achieve new levels to unlock the various different ingredients and learn new recipes. Once they’ve been unlocked you can buy them and reap the benefits of using them. Collecting more ingredients is beneficial as it allows you to learn more recipes. Ingredients can also be bought at the ingredients market, gifted to you by friends, or obtained by trading ingredients with friends.

Maintaining your staff’s energy – The number below the employee’s smiley represents their energy level. The lower it is, the slower they work. If the energy level for your workers (i.e. waiters, chefs, janitors) reaches zero, they’ll completely stop working and if your restaurant staff isn’t working, your customers will become unhappy and give your restaurant a poor rating. As a consequence of this, less customers will visit and restaurant profits will fall. Thus it is important to keep your restaurant staff’s energy level high. To re-energize them you just need to click on the employee menu and either feed them, rest them, or do both. Employees will 100% energy can work for about 3 hours before they need to rest or eat again.

Gourmet points help you level-up – Gourmet points are akin to experience points; you earn gourmet points by performing tasks such as preparing food, hiring employees, cleaning, buying things, and helping your Restaurant City friends. As you rack up more gourmet points you’ll attain new levels in the game, get a cash bonus, be able to hire more employees, and do more things.

Your restaurant’s rating – Located near the top right corner of screen in Restaurant City is an image of a thumbs-up with a value. That value indicates your restaurant’s ratings score and controls the number of customers you receive. If your restaurant rating increases, more customers visit you, and you make more money. In contrast, if it decreases, less customers visit your restaurant and your restaurant’s profits drop. Making customers wait because there is not enough chairs can be a source of poor ratings.

Why Restaurant City friends are important – Basically, adding new friends in Restaurant City is important because the number of friends you have limits what you can accomplish in the game. You need friends to hire them to work for you as waiters, chefs, and janitors. Not only can you receive gifts from friends but you can earn more Restaurant City coins by increasing friend numbers. Friends can also be a great source for trading and obtaining new ingredients. If you don’t want to offer any of your own ingredients for trading with friends, you need to click on them in order to lock ingredients. Otherwise you can simply ask your friends for ingredients that you need. Overall however, it is necessary for you to keep inviting more Facebook friends so the you can earn more cash and grow your restaurant business.

Giving friends gifts – Gifts can be given and received in Restaurant City and both acts are helpful to all parties. Giving gifts encourages those receiving to give back to those that gave and vice versa. If you have some friends that are playing at a higher Restaurant City level they will often send you an ingredient or item in return that you need and can’t afford yet.

Help your friends – Just like gifting, helping your Restaurant City friends can encourage them to do the same for you. You can help your friends by either working for them or visiting their restaurant. By doing this you can earn more gourmet points and obtain ingredients that you need.

Awards – Restaurant City awards are given out to players for accomplishing milestones as they play the game. These goals/milestones are dependent on such things as how many friends you add, how many pieces of trash you’ve cleared, the number of friends you visit, how many items you’ve gifted, how many ingredients you trade, the number of coins you spend, how many indoor/outdoor items you buy, the number of avatar items you’ve bought, if your dish reaches level 10 and how many of them do, the total number of restaurants you’ve rated, and how many plants you’ve harvested.
