Ready to cook? Let’s get started with our Cooking Fever guide to building the ultimate restaurant!

1. Always have your food prepared and ready to go!

You don’t really need to worry about the drinks for this as they refill on their own, but for the actual food items you should always have them prepared and ready to go. At first you will only have one slot for a hamburger and your hot dogs, so you should always try to have one sitting out. Don’t worry about letting them get cold, as there is no penalty for leaving a prepared food item out.

2. Buy the time reduction upgrades first!

The upgrades that reduce preparation/cooking times are the ones you want to buy first, such as the Cola Dispenser, the Burger Fry Pan and the Hot Dog Grilling pan. These reduce the amount of time you need to wait for the cola to pour or for the food to cook, which will become a huge help when you get swamped with people later on.

3. Leave money on the table to slow things down!

We discovered a neat little trick: if there’s any moment where you feel like there are too many customers coming in and you can’t prepare enough food to keep up with them, don’t collect the money a customer leaves behind once you serve them. When money is left on the counter, new customers can’t take up that space. Use this time to give yourself some breathing room and prepare a batch of food for the next wave!

4. Buy some interior decorations to keep your customers happy!

Aside from kitchen upgrades, you can also buy interior upgrades that give you passive bonuses to several factors.

  • Extra clients. This affects how many customers you’ll see in the day.
  • Customer waiting time. This affects how long your customers are willing to wait before they leave the restaurant.
  • Tip amount. This increases the tip amount your customers give you.
  • Tip time increased. This increases the window of serving time in which a customer is willing to tip you.

As you can see, the interior upgrades are pretty useful. We suggest maxing out the time reduction kitchen upgrades first and foremost, as suggested above, then moving onto upgrading your restaurant’s interior.

5. Level up to obtain gems!

You will obtain gems naturally as you progress through the game, as you are rewarded with around 1-5 gems every time you level up. Don’t worry about spending real money to get them, just keep playing the game!

These tips should get you started on to becoming a top notch chef. If you have any other questions or suggestions, leave a comment below.
