Yesterday I just tried out Restaurant City. It is still in beta version, which is why it hasn't been placed out at the PlayFish sidebar. This which has been released for 2 weeks, has been a marvellous game. I have been always fancy of tycoon game. Even before, I would go play Lemonade Tycoon after school.

In Restaurant City, you can open your restaurant and sell food. You are allowed to sell one food from each category, Starters; Main; Desserts. In the beginning you will be given 5 ingredients. There are roughly 50 ingredients in the game, each for its purpose. Each ingredients have its rarity, which is identified by the number of stars. Ingredients allow you to learn new recipes. Recipes require certain ingredients before you can learn them. Everyday you get ingredients by answering the quiz and visiting a new friend.  Trading your ingredients give you another way of completing your recipe. However do take note, the number of stars allow you which kind of ingredients you are able to trade. Each level you will earn 300 cash and rewards, either bigger restaurant area or slots for hiring employees. For a start you are given 2 employees and few furniture. You have 3 recipe in menu, with a starting cash of 2000. As you level, your restaurant gets bigger and more customers will come by. The number of customers depends on the Popularity points you have. Roughly for a popularity of 30%, you can get 3 customers/second.

Each dish that you served will give you 2 cash and Gourmet Points of 1.0. Gourmet Points is your experience bar to level up. Each level the experience bar is doubled. Everyone needs to rest, so does your workers. The Tiredness Level of the worker will decrease as time goes. A 100% Tiredness Level gives you roughly 3 hours of working. After that, you have to bring them to rest. If not they will work very slow. Likewise for those who wants your restaurant to be working 24/7. There is food to replenish the Tiredness Level, for a price of course. Customers is always right! They do give comments about your restaurant. These comments contribute to your Popularity. The maximum Popularity you can get is 50. The restaurant runs even though you weren't online.

Tips & Tricks:

At start, do not get any furniture until you reach around Level 5.

It takes roughly 40 minutes from a 0% to 100% Tiredness Level.

It's pointless buying niche furniture. Attractiveness does not contribute to the Popularity.

Do not place a table infront of the stove. The waiter doesn't seem to serve it.

Do not upgrade your stove. The speed of cooking is the same, perhaps for now.

Do not fire your workers, you will be required to pay 200 cash.

Always keep your distance between stove and tables near. It saves you on trouble if a dish is waiting to be served.

Keep your arrangement nice and simple. Look out for turning corners, as it requires 3 squares to move-about.

Always leave a gap for the seats. Customers can't move through seats.

It is wise to keep the serving area as minimal as possible, since waiters can overpass each other.

Lock your ingredients if you intend to learn a new recipe.

Remember that trading only works if the ingredient that you’re trading is of the same level or higher level of stars than your friend’s.

Like in Pet Society, trees give you cash. In RC, the trees around your restaurant also gives you cash. So shake those trees up! This applies to clearing up litters for restaurant.

Whenever your workers are resting and no one is working. Customers can get in and sit, yet no food are served. Comments will reflect on the decreasing Popularity. So get something to block the door or remove the entrance.

For each increase in level of a dish, you earn slightly more Gourmet Points when a customer has that dish. However, it is not one full point extra for each level, instead it is around an 0.2 Gourmet Point increase per level, so once you have a dish at level 2, most of the time you will still see just 1 Gourmet Point increase when serving it, but sometimes you will see a 2 Gourmet Point gain. Also, the appearance of the dish being served improves as the dish is leveled up.

This is the last trick and hidden, if you have noticed. Your Gourmet Points will only increase if you are in your own restaurant when serving the meals. If you are not logged into the game, have another screen open like the Redecorate screen, or are visiting a friend’s restaurant, your cash will increase for those meals, but your Gourmet Points will not. Therefore, if you are wishing to level up, leaving your screen open to your restaurant is recommended.

Comments:

A green thumbs up icon means your customer was happy with their meal and service.

A red thumbs down icon means your customer was unhappy with the service. The icon that is shown prior to this will tell you more.

A seat icon means that there is no available seat in your restaurant.

A table icon with a plate on it means that the table the customer sat at needs to be cleared.

An empty table icon means your customer sat at a seat where there was no table available.

An icon showing a banana peel means that your restaurant has trash on the floor that you should clean up.

A clock icon means your service took too long.

That's for all right now! Do click on the Restaurant City picture. This is the first time I created a viewing gallery with side arrows to browse through.
