Restaurant City is another popular and addictive Facebook game. You manage a restaurant and all that goes with that. Here are a few tips that I’ve learned along the way.

1. How to get ingredients:

  • The first time you visit a friend, you will receive one ingredient.
  • Login in each day and get an ingredient.
  • Answer food quizzes correctly that arrive in your restaurant’s mailbox.
  • Purchase them at The Ingredient Market. Note: They change daily and are quite expensive.

2. Keep your employees’ energy above 80%. When it drops below this, they will slow down and affect customer satisfaction.

3. Focus on leveling one recipe per category (starter, main, and dessert) instead of trying to do numerous ones. The higher the recipe’s level, the more points you’ll receive.

Level 1 = +1.0
Level 2 = +1.2
Level 3 = +1.4
Level 4 = +1.6
Level 5 = +1.8
Level 6 = +2.0
Level 7 = +2.2
Level 8 = +2.4
Level 9 = +2.6
Level10 = +2.8

4. Your restaurant will continue to operate even after you leave the game. If you are going to be away for a lengthy amount of time (such as going to work or going to bed), then close your restaurant by blocking the door with a chair or the mailbox. Close the game. Doing this will preserve your popularity points.

5. To get additional coins, make sure to pick up all rubbish that appears in your (and other people’s) restaurant. Also click on the trees that surround your restaurant (don’t forget about the two across the street!). Random trees will drop coins.

6. Add arcade games to keep extra customers busy. This way they won’t decrease your popularity points.

7. Try to minimize the distance that waiters need to walk between the stoves and the tables. This will increase efficiency and keep customers more satisfied.

8. All stoves cook at the same rate, regardless of the cost of the stove.

    Facebook Restaurant City Tips and Tricks, very nice article.

  6. Sarah Says:

    Thanks for the tips and tricks. I think this is more honest than using cheats =>. I’m really into it and I plan to run mine in a non-cheating way as possible. Is there something Playfish can do to prevent and discourage cheaters?

  7. Jody Says:

    hey, i just wanted to know if you can send gifts in bulk instead of sending them one by one?

  8. Kerri Says:

    Is there are way to transfer one food item from one recipe to another? eg. garlic from one meal, to another, to make up the next level. Or is there a way to choose where you want a particular item to go?

  9. Chef Sarah Says:

    Jody
    No, you can only send them individually.
    Kerri
    Once you have used an ingredient to make a dish, it cannot be transferred. Rather like cooking in reality.

    via, go to your street, and press the bricks (decorate your building) the outdoor items should be in that inventory.

  25. Albert Says:

    I am level 14! Hahahahahhahahahahah no one else is 14!

  26. Albert Says:

    You are wrong Victoria and Via. Via’s correction: Can you send an outdoor gift to a friend? My friend sent me a roof, etc. for outdoor but it did not reflect my inventory. Thought i recieved the mail. Thanks. Victoria’s correction: Via, go to your street, and press the bricks (Decorate the building) and the outdoor items should be in your inventory. I recieved the mail. Thanks. -Albert

  27. Albert Says:

    2,000,000 level 32

  28. Albert Says:

    Lioves, edadhs, and fatrer turn in to: Olives, Dashed, Shaded, and Rafter.

  29. Albert Says:

    Hack time! Hack to hire: Roll over the pictures or press “Hire friends” on your employees hired. Then, if you see your friend(s), then press the “Hire” Button to Hire a friend. Like this! In Kaylie’s restaurant she have 6/8 employees hired. Then she hired Jan Slunner, then put as “Janitor/Cleaner”

  30. Albert Says:

    Hack again! Hacking to get to next level: Wait till you have the number of gourmet points. Like Kim Shade have 27,999 gourmet points. (Level 15) and 1 customer to level (16) then Plot, and larger.
