Things you need to play the game:
1) A restaurant. You are provided a very basic restaurant space to begin. You will need a stove, tables, chairs, and at least 2 employees (waiter & cook). It will walk you through this very basic stuff.
2) Customers. They will come to you. They will order on their own and your employees will handle their order without any help from you. Well, one exception. They start out with 100% energy that diminishes as time goes by. When you see their energy getting low, provide them with a snack. Various snacks have a certain value when it comes to "recharging" them and the higher the recharging value, the more it costs.
3) Money. Of course, you earn more money with each customer you serve. But you will need money to recharge your employees when their energy gets too low. Plus, as you expand you will want to add more chairs, tables, & stoves. Seriously, I wouldn't stress too much about extra decorations at this point.
When it comes to energy, the best tip is when you are going to be away from the game, put all of your employees to "rest". They are able to recharge for free. But to keep your approval rating up there (& bringing more customers) place an object in front of the door (on the inside). Your restaurant is basically "closed". If you don't do this, customers will continue coming in and your employees will continue working until they have 0 energy. When that happens, customers continue coming in and get mad because they aren't being served. Your approval rating drops to 0 and you have to work to bring it back up again.
Ingredients: You need ingredients to make food right! In this game, you basically don't know how to make anything until you receive the ingredients to learn. So how do you get ingredients?
1) Each day you will receive a free ingredient just by coming into the game.
2) The market. There's a girl on the street that sells items. There are three items to choose from each day, but they are pretty expensive. I don't even go there LOL
3) Each day you are given a food quiz. Most of them are really easy, some aren't so much. Answer correctly and you get a free ingredients.
4) Go to the street! The first time you visit a friends restaurant you get a free ingredient.
5) When you visit a friends restaurant you can go to their ingredient list and offer to trade them. Just select the ingredient you want and select the ingredient you are willing to part with.
Learning to make dishes/Changing the menu:
When the menu opens up you will see the ingredients you have and the meals you can make above that. Under each meal you will see the ingredients you need to make that dish. If you have all of the ingredients it will either say "Learn" or "Upgrade". You can go up to level 10 on each meal. They just changed it so that there are 4 categories of meals (Starter, Main, Dessert, Drink) and you can select 3 items from each category. Go with the highest "level" of food that you have.
Customers will automatically order what category they want and the cooks will automatically prepare what they order. So just sit back and watch!
Hints:
-Pick up trash around your restaurant and others' restaurants to earn some cash.
-All of the stoves cook at the same speed. So other than "looks" there really isn't any reason to "upgrade".
-At level 8 and above your customers will want a toilet to use. A toilet is great until they get dirty. Start out by just pulling one of your cooks or servers to clean it when it gets dirty. But as you get higher up with more customers and more toilets, it's best to assign people to be cleaners.
-Every time you fire or "sack" an employee you lose 200 points. So be nice :-)
-When you are visiting a friend's restaurant, click on the trees around their building. Every so often you will get more money :-)
-You servers will work faster if they don't have far to walk to serve food. Put tables around stoves.
-When you save up enough money, buy an arcade machine. Customers will play those if they have to wait and if it still takes too long to get a table they will leave without your reputation points going down.
-Provide "waiting" chairs for customers who have to wait for a table. That way they don't just walk out.
-Create a "maze" for your customers to walk through to get to the tables. This makes them stay in your restaurant longer and the opportunity for a table generally arises. (Check out my generic picture below with the path used for a customer to finally make it to the tables)
