Restaurant City by Playfish (level 11)

First part of Restaurant City tips here.

Goal: to increase popularity rating by maximizing restaurant space.

I just reached level 11. I'm pretty bad at trading, mainly because I only found out that I should focus on 1 dish each course and ended up wasting ingredients instead of trading them.

Here's the layout that helped increase my rating from 23-31 in 30 minutes. I took this screen shot 10 minutes before I wrote the previous line.

restaurant city level 11 layout design4 cooks
2 waiters = 6 tiles
10 tables
a VERY narrow path


The important details:
Before this layout I had 2 waiters serve 10 tables but they had to manage 8 tiles. I had a 25 popularity rating then because customers kept on complaining about slow service.

I redecorated and maximized my space to achieve:
2 waiters only have to manage 6 tiles (that's how we measure restaurant space) in order to serve 10 tables. All 10 tables are accessible to customers. PLUS a very narrow path before customers reach the tables which is good for stalling. By the time they reach the free table, it would most likely have been cleared by the assigned waiter.

I just finished this post right after redecoration and I have now increased my popularity rating to 34.

  1. if you move the entire table/stove layout down by one tile then you can have a longer maze. the customers would have to go through the right part of the screen before getting to the chairs on the left.

  5. it's even better to do a 2 section, 2 cook + 1 waiter combination (so to further restrict the movement of the waiter)

    I remember going to popularity 43 at level 11

  6. u are telling me that in 11 level u only have 34 popularity????this sucks.put 2 stoves and 1 waiter in one corner with 5 tables and in the other corner put 2 stoves and 1 waiter with 6 tables around.close the waiter so he can only move for 2 squares.my popularity is in 46.2 points!!!this is a good score not the 34!!!!ALSO u don't have to clean the toilletes with an employee.when ur toillete is dirty just click on "redecorate" and pu it in ur items.then just put it again in ur restaurant and the toillete will be clean.

But can i ask why do u want to make a maze any way? how does it help? I just put 9 tables in 1 corner with 1 waiter and 2 chiefs inside. And another corner with 1 waiter, 1chief and 3tables. But may consider your way.

  20. Level 11 popularity 50

    Make 2 islands, each with 6 tables, 2 chiefs and 1 waiter moving in 1 tile.

    Get 3 Arcade Machine, and u will have 50 popularity without having any toilets. Save up your cleaner or remove toilet effort.

  25. Why are all my customers just white? No hair, clothes, or faces? Getting on my nerves! Is it because I use firefox?
    ReplyDelete
  26. @Cat using firefox is actually better than using Internet Explorer. However, it may be because of the version of firefox you're using current. Check your version through Help menu. Latest firefox version up to date is 3.5.2

  33. @sgfsdggf

    Check your menu, on the last item (drinks) if you've never leveled up any of your drinks, then make sure that the first item on the drinks list is chosen (that is the default).

    I have never leveled up my drinks but I have maintained a popularity of 50 (maximum popularity).

  35. actually, shorten the distance customers have to walk would turn out better. im lvl12 with popularity ratings 47. and there's something you have to take note. the higher the ratings, the more the customers. (at 47, even 10 toilets, 18 tables, 3 waiting chairs, 4 cooks, 2 waiters are not enough.)

    at lvl11 (if im not wrong), you might have to buy toilets to preserve your popularity ratings (unless you wanna buy the arcade machines) which cost 8000 for each machine. if unless you wanna level quickly with the high number of customers, don't go for popularity ratings. ^^
