Restaurant City Tips and Tricks
93Restaurant City Pictures
I honestly just started to play the Restaurant City game on Facebook and have been doing nicely. I've been jumping levels over friends and starting to get the hang of it. I even started to creat an index for Restaurant City Questions.
Right now, I'd have to tell you that there are absolutely no hacks or cheats. Probably tricks and tips (and bugs?), but not hacks.
If you don't know what Restaurant City is, it is one of the biggest games on Facebook right now. It was published by Playfish, a well-known facebook (and other social networks) application publisher.
In Restaurant City, you will be able to build your own restaurant starting from a small one. Initially, you will have 4 tables and be able to hire a few employees. Once you gain level, your restaurant size (floor area) increases along with the number of employees you will be able to hire. It's quite fun. If you have played and liked SIMS, you will definitely like this.
Here are some tips and tricks I've began to learn while playing Restaurant City.
- The best ratio of employees is. 5:3:0. Four cooks, One waiter, No cleaner. This works well with the next tip.
- The last tip will be ok if you don't use this trick. Use a narrow, winding way to your chairs. This will give time for your only waiter to clear up the dishes before they arrive.
- Always have an arcade. An arcade is a way for your waiting customers to unwind. If you played Restaurant City long enough, customers not given a seat and/or didn't get their food because the restaurant is full, they give you a 'thumbs down'. When they play the arcade, they end up not giving you a 'thumbs down'. This way you always get away with one(depending on your number of arcades) that doesn't give you a 'thumbs down'.
- If you absolutely don't want to have cleaners, you can always redecorate and store your dirty toilets then put them back clean.
- If you are going somewhere and not be back in 3 hours you better lock up. You can lock up by barring the door with some of your stuff like chairs and the mailbox.
- Try to shake the trees around your restaurant. They sometimes, drop coins.
- In restaurant city, an island layout is the best. An island layout is when you put your tables together forming a circle. The waiters will be inside the circle where they can work faster (shorter walks to tables). The customers will be outside the circle.
- Don't use toilets. There's no penatly for not using it. And you will be occasionally cleaning it. Why do the hard work when you can 'play' without it.
- Don't use the Restaurant City Cheat Engine. I've heard it doesn't work. Don't try it or your account can be reported when someone notices you.
- Focus on one recipe per category on your recipe menu. Focusing by buying and getting the ingredients on a single recipe will increase your chances to level it up as opposed to randomly learning all recipes.
There are always new tricks and tips out there and I'll keep this updated as long I can. If you haven't tried Restaurant City, I suggest you try it out by logging into facebook and signing up. But be warned, it can be addictive.

I disagree. I've never had a thumbs down for the toilets. You can verify it at the playfish forums. :)
Ok. Just added a few things.
They do not give a thumbs down for toilets, which is why I do not use them, and I think once you hit level 17 that the ratio 4:4:0 works best, does 5:3:0 really work much better?
Chuck. That's the point I am trying to say, "Don't use toilets".
Actually, it depends on the table layout. If you your waiters just a minimal space to walk from stove to table, 5:3:0 works best.
I've found that 4 chefs "don't cut the mustard".
U need to use toilets one u reach a certain level...
i have recieved thumbs down for not having a toilet. i just put one in and do like you said, just redecorate if i don't want a cleaner.
I haven't received any thumbs down for not using it. Weird. Anyway, I have always had 49.5 - 50 on my popularity so I'll probably stick with not having toilets for now.
@Yo: I don't think that's true. Although, I think you 'can have toilets' after you reach a certain level cuts the mustard.
Holly crap Face Book has games! I mean games like this, I have seen the Ninjas vs Pirates. But this is so cool. Thanks for sharing. I think I'll go and give this restaurant game try. I have played a few restaurateur games on the PC.
I've found that you won't get a thumbs down if you don't have toilets, but you also won't get a thumbs up either. Your ratings will increase faster if you have toilets.
@Carrie. I think I've started to notice that. But I still think that decreasing faster is much better than increasing faster and it needs less work from the player :P
guys u need toilets im lvl 16 and if i dont have toilets
(i got like 8) my popularity goes down
and the people start using the toielts at lvl 8 btw

i min 50.0 popularity.. lol ^_^
Can any one help me understand how to work the garden plot?
You can earn different ingredients by trading with your friends. Its not advisable to buy your own, use your money to redecorate instead.
how come my chefs just stand there and dont do anything sometimes? they have 100% energy..
@Marjorie. In the garden plot you can plant seeds that will give you a random plant producing one ingredient.
@ Marjorie. Maybe I'd add something up in the article about the new garden plot :)
@random. I never had that problem. It could be a bug. Since your employees should be losing strength when they are there.
Having the wall maze too slow down customers is actually very good, because your waiters can clear more tabels and and your chefs can cook more food.
"I haven't received any thumbs down for not using it. Weird. Anyway, I have always had 49.5 - 50 on my popularity so I'll probably stick with not having toilets for now."
Wow..I have to say that isn't that great. I manage the same popularity, and yet only have 3 cooks, 3 waiters, 1 cleaner, 15 tables, and no arcades.
I had a popularity of less than 10 then i put the tables in island format with 4 cooks, 2 waiters and have a popularity of 40
Hey guys add me in your resto city...Name is Amfufu Decapia
What is the garden plot?
I am a HUGE fan of this game and was kind of not expecting to get anything out of this article because I play so much. I had NO idea about the trees or the arcade, and I'd always wondered why people would bar their doors. Great tips! They're really going to help me out, thanks!
the best game i'd ever played... add me.. the name is xiegfred
Hey guyz!
Anyone knows why would we want to increase the level of the recipes? Does this improves the earnings with every visit? I currently win a $2 with every visitor. Also why should we buy more recipes? sorry for asking such a basic thing
Oh.. Thanks. Amazing post. I really like this game a lot and also playing this game regularly.
5-2-1 works very well for me!
I started playing restaurant city 2 weeks ago and i've got to level 16 and pop of 48-50...I use 3-3-1....its really eficient and easy...I have 1 arcade....If you want,add me...
planetkanila
thanks
kanila perera....and please tell me your from hubpages
A helpful hint
In restaurant city staff groups (chefs, waitors, fridges, cleaners) work better when their are more of them in a group.
for example. 4 individual chefs work faster than 1 individual chef and 4 waitors work faster than 1 waitor
What item is the best to purchase besides the arcade?
Love life, family, relatives and friends, and to work hard!
you do need a cleaner because when people want a toilet and dont get and avalible one the dont give you a thumbs up
4 cheffs, 3 waitors, 1 cleaner worker well when you get 8 staff
I have 7 employees. Which is more efficient, 5 cooks 2 waiters or 4 cooks 3 waiters?
once u get to lvl 8, u need a toilet. ur customers wont give u a thumbs up if they need to go to the toilet after their meal.
If you level your dishes you get more exp for every person who eats that dish.
rc rawks
im level 18 and you do not need a cleaner.. just put chair facing your restaurant at your door so when the cusomters walk in, they walk through the chairs.. then there is no way for them to get out of the restaurant so they automatically giev you a thumbs up after their meal and disappear, not needing a toilet. :D
It is best to start off with one island layout. Three cooks per waiter. When you gain more employees, make them a cook or waiter (I suggest cook). When you reach 6 employees, split the island layout into 2 smaller layouts: 2 cooks per one waiter and the waiter is standing on ONE square with 3 tables on each side. You will reach a popularity of 50. Then when you gain another employess (a total of 7), you can add a cook to one of those small layouts and add 3 more tables, and still have a popularity of 49.5. BUT read the rest of the comment to reach this popularity...
I have read that if you have 3 arcade machines, it evens out the thumbs up and thumbs down when you do no have toilets.
I heard that is best to keep the happiness levels about 80%, or they slow down significantly.
If you leave your restaurant (because you are logging off of facebook, or you want to trade ingredients, or you want to go pick up trash somewhere) you will not gain any gourmet points. THE ONLY TIME YOU GAIN GOURMET POINTS is when you STAY in your restaurant.
All send me friend request to get more ingredients!! my name is stan hendrix and i dont have a foto.
you can also lower your quality to help you get coins 2x faster
hi i have a new idea for a layout that works really well. make a pyrimid out of your tables then put the cooks in a similar pyrimid on the inside. i have 3 cooks and 2 waiters and this is working the best for me. i also have two tolits and one arcade. my populatity is about 30 but it is going up steadily :D
how will i earned a star rating?
I have recently let my employees health run to zero and so my rating when down the tubes as my customers weren't satisfied. Now that the employees are at 100% again, how do I quickly get my rating back up?
HOW TO IN RESTAURANT CITY GIVE CUSTOMER GO FAST
ive never had thumbs down for toilets but i think you should have toilets because the customers go to the toilet after they eat and if they dont get to go you dont get thumbs up or down.
Looks like fun. I gotta give Restaurant City a try!
Stumped!!! --> it takes time for your rating to go back up, so just let time do it's part.
Hmm... You don't have to be in the restaurant anymore to gain exp, meaning, you can just leave the cooks and waiters there to gain exp, even when you have shut off the game.
I recommend having toliets just to gain that exp (When you have 9 people+ )Because then all your people will always be working anyways instead of them just haning around.
You say there are absolutely no Cheats?
My god, you are so wrong.
There are about 5 tools dedicated to the game, Trophy Givers and such, as well as many known CE Addresses.
There are hacks and you need toilets when you are in level 8 or higher
u need means need TOILETS!!!!!
u get thumbs up if anyone sits. . . . . . . .!!!! ! ! ! !
Wht is an island layout?
I still new to game...
hey add me on facebook so i can see your restaurant city my name is Alex Loaiza I have a picture of eric cartman (hes from south park)
You point out some nice tips. Now that Restaurant City has 9 employees available, I think it is better to have 5 cooks, 3 servers, and 1 janitor. Having the toilets is an easy way to keep your approval rating high. Plus you can just click to clean it with the new upgrades.
i dont agree whit you whit the toilets^^ if you have toilets and they go on toilet(customer) then they give you thumbs up!

To verify... I just got this notice on my RC account today after I leveled up to level 8. It's a screenshot of the prompt that tells me that I need to put toilets into my restaurant. Your popularity will go down if you don't have them after you are prompted.
is cute my restaurant is cute thnx restaurant city

actually. as the game progresses and your restaurant gets bigger, customers would look for toilets.. and when there aren't any, they're gonna give you a thumbs down.
