Restaurant City Walkthrough

Check out the official Gamezebo strategy guide for Restaurant City.

General Information

Restaurant City was developed by Playfish games and released on Facebook in May of 2009.
In Restaurant City you design and run your own virtual restaurant while interacting with friends, trading ingredients with them, and gifting items daily to help each other develop their restaurants.
The game will continues to earn money even while you are offline.
There are 65 levels which are determined by the number of Gourmet Points you earn and each level increase results in either a bigger restaurant, bonus coins, or additional employees.
You hire employees from your list of friends and assign them jobs such as chef, waiter, or Janitor.
You can dress your employees in various outfits, assign them jobs, rest them and feed them to keep them energized.
Your employees will work and earn you money until they become tired. You can either feed them or let them rest to re-energize if you don’t have enough coins to purchase food for them.
Resting your employees back to full health takes approximately one hour but you will not be making money in your restaurant during this time.
Money is earned by serving food in your restaurant, visiting your Neighbor’s restaurants, walking around outside through the trees, and growing items in your Garden.
There are many things to do in the game besides run your restaurant such as trade ingredients for recipes to place in your menu, take photographs, plant seeds in your garden and shop to decorate the interior and exterior of your restaurant.
There are 2 currencies in the game. Playfish Cash and Restaurant City Coins Playfish Cash allows you to purchase exclusive virtual items for the game and can be purchased with a Major credit Card, Paypal account or Mobile Phone service.
You must have a valid registered Facebook account to play Restaurant city. http://facebook.com
You can find the application here – http://apps.facebook.com/restaurantcity/

Game Tips and Strategies

You earn .01 approval rating points for every happy customer and you lose .01 point for every unhappy customer. Keep an eye on the thought bubbles above your customers heads and you will be able to identify any problems causing you to lose approval rating points. You may need to add more tables, toilets, or staff to solve the problem.
It is critical that you organize your restaurant in an efficient manor. Never place tables against walls or edges and make sure there is enough room for customers to get to all of the chairs. (see arranging your tables for maximum profit below)
Once you have a large enough restaurant you can design a walkway maze for your customers with wall dividers or several rose trellis compartments. Placing them in a back and forth pattern will keep the customers walking through the line longer which gives the customers seated already time to eat and leave. Customers do not mind walking through the mazes and the longer you can make them the better results you will have. By the time the customers get to the tables they will be empty. If a table is full when a customer arrives to be seated they will leave with a red thumbs down rating and decrease your overall popularity score by .01 points.
TIP – If you do not have enough coins to make a walkway maze for your customers use the free trophies you have earned in the game as customers can not walk through them.
Rely heavily on your Neighbors to gift you ingredients and items to build your restaurant with and be sure to return the favor.
Whenever you get a useful ingredient that you can place on the live feeds be sure to do so as your Neighbors will follow suit.
Pinball Machines and Arcade Games are wonderful to have in your restaurants if you have a customer that has to wait for a seat he will play on the machines and stick around a while longer until a seat is available. The machines earn you 1 coin per use and break down after 6 uses and can be repaired by your Janitors if you are away from the game or you can click on the machine to repair it if you are in the game.
If you must rest an employee because you are short on coins be sure to rest only a few at a time keeping at least 2 working at all times so you are always earning income.
Feeding your employees in the early levels to keep them working will result in faster leveling up.
Be sure to send your Neighbors the free food gift daily so they will reciprocate and send to you. This can save you a lot of money in the long run. Sending a personal message with your gift tends to increase the odds that someone will reciprocate the gesture.

Use these coins to buy one additional stove and 2 to 3 tables and chairs.
You will need to place these items strategically as your restaurant becomes bigger so that you can serve the optimum number of guests at a time. (See “Most efficient restaurant Layouts” below)
You may want to wait on wallpaper and decor items until you have reached level 10.
If you see customers with a table or chair thought bubble over their head you should add another table and chair to your restaurant.

Most Efficient Layouts for Restaurants

There are a few proven strategies for earning a high approval rate and the arrangement of your tables, chairs, stoves and drink dispensers is critical to make this happen.
Study the images above to see successful restaurants with high approval ratings and how they have set up their restaurants.
Your restaurant will expand over time so you will not be able to do the walkway until you have enough room.
Never block your doorway as people will turn around and leave right away.
When your restaurant is large enough make a walkway from the door to the tables that will cause your customers to walk in a zig- zag pattern for a few moments using room dividers or any item you can put to block them from moving anywhere you don’t want them to walk.
Place your tables as shown in the image above placing the stoves and drink dispensers inside. This will cause your waiters to become trapped inside this area and it will limit the number of steps they will need to take to serve customers.
Leave one row between the stoves and the table for the waiters to walk on.
Place Video Game machines close to the door to keep customers there for a few moments.

Restrooms

Once you hit level 8 your customers will want to use the restroom so be sure you have accommodations set up as soon as possible.
It doesn’t have to be anything fancy just a couple of toilets to begin with and you can add more as you level up and the need becomes apparent.
If you have a sink in your Bathroom your customers may use it but it is not necessary and is considered a decorative item only so you may want to save your coins and not buy sinks until you are comfortable financially in the game since they are quite expensive.
A good rule to follow is by the time you reach level 12 you should have at least 4 toilets or more in your Restaurant.
If you have a large number of customers showing the toilet in the thought bubble over their heads this is an indicator that you need more toilets in your restaurant.
Make sure you have at least one employee hired as a Janitor to keep the toilets clean or customers will not use them.
Don’t forget! As your restaurant becomes larger be sure to increase the size of your restrooms too.

Pinball and Arcade Machines

You can purchase these machines in the functional section of the shopping menu.
These machines are expensive so you want to make sure you are not struggling for funds to keep your employees working.
Each machine will keep a customer busy while they are waiting for a table to come open.
You will earn 1 coin for each time a customer plays on the machines.
After 6 uses the arcade machine will break down and after 10 uses the pinball machine will break down requiring you to wait for one of your Janitors to come fix it.
There is no cost to repair the machines you just have to wait until the Janitors can get to it between cleaning things.
If you see what appears to be electricity moving through the machine that means it is broken.
The more machines you can have in your restaurant the higher the benefit to you especially if you have a large amount of customers.
NOTE – If you click on the arcade machine you can play the game yourself. It is a game similar to the old “Centipede” games from the 80’s. You are in control of a snake or caterpillar and you control him as he eats using your arrow keys. Each time he eats he gets longer and he can not touch the edges of the screen. It costs 1 coin to play the game.

Decorating the Outside of your Restaurant

To decorate the outside of your Restaurant click on the “To my Street” icon at the lower left side of game screen.
Click on the “Decorate” Icon which looks like bricks in the center bottom of the screen.
This will open up the same menu as your indoor items including the Cash Shop and your inventory.
Just as you decorate inside you can drag the items where you would like to place them.
Once you let go of the item its cost will deduct from your bank.
You can drag items to different locations and place items back into inventory to hold or to sell back.

Checking your Mail

To check your mail you can click on the envelope icon at the mid right of your screen (Shown in image above) or you can click on the red mailbox that was in your restaurant when you started the game.
You will receive your daily quiz in the mail as well as messages from Neighbors, trade requests, and the newsletter.
Click on an item to read it and hit reply to answer.
The envelope icon has a number next to it indicating how many messages are unread in your mailbox.
NOTE – You can not respond to messages in full screen mode so make sure you are in window mode when checking mail.

Locate the Gourmet King

If you see the Gourmet King be sure to click on him for a bonus that you can share with your Neighbors!
He is a little white haired bearded man that walks up and down the streets looking at restaurants.

The highest popularity rating you can earn is 50 Unless you have the 3 Million Fans Statue which was given out last January as a limited edition gift to celebrate Restaurant City’s Success. If you have this statue in your restaurant or in your inventory your Popularity can reach 51.0 and you should see that reflected in the upper right hand corner of your screen where the score is located.
For every satisfied customer you earn .01 points and you lose .01 points when a customer leaves unhappy.
Popularity only increases or decreases while you are actually in the game.
When you exit the game you will have the same popularity rating when you come back in.

Live Feed Facebook-Live Feed Announcements

Anytime you experience a milestone event in the game such as reaching a new level, obtaining an award, or doing something for the first time you may be prompted to share this information with your Neighbors over the live feed.
This is optional just click submit if you want others to know or skip if you choose not to share.
This sometimes increases the odds others will send you gifts if they see your name on the feeds frequently.
Keep an eye on the live feeds daily for chances at bonus ingredients and to see the announcements of your Neighbors when new features are added to the game.

How to obtain Ingredients

There are a few ways to obtain ingredients in Restaurant City.
You can claim them from Neighbors when you visit their restaurants for the first time.
Answer the Daily Quiz Question correctly for 1 Free ingredient.
Get up to 3 ingredients per day by logging in each day without fail. You used to get one ingredient each time you logged in for the first time in a 24 hour period but now you will receive 1 ingredient on day one, 2 ingredients on day 2 and 3 ingredients on day 3 and if you continue to log in without breaking the sequence you will earn 3 ingredients each day you log in. If you break the chain it will start you over at 1 ingredient again.
Check your live feed and Fan pages for free ingredients. Frequently free ingredients are given away at these places to encourage participation.

Trading Ingredients/Secure Trades

Trading ingredients is a critical part of the game and a great way to level up your menu items quickly without running out of coins.
There are currently 62 ingredients in the game and this total changes frequently.
You can not just send your Neighbor an ingredient you must trade with them one for one as evenly as possible.
There are ingredients with a 1 to 5 star rating above them which does not indicate popularity of an item just the type of item it is in relation to others. For example two ingredients with 2 stars are considered an equal trade and two items with a 3 star rating are equal trades but you can’t do an instant trade for a 1 star and a 5 star ingredient..
Click and unlock all ingredients you are willing to trade with others automatically.
If a person wants to trade with you they will scroll through the available ingredients you have unlocked and can trade an item that has an equal number of stars. For example a 2 star item for a 2 star item or if you do not have a 2 star item, a 3 star item is acceptable. A higher number of stars is acceptable but not lower without special permission from the other trader.
If that person would like to ask you to trade an item that is unequal in value such as a 2 star item for a 1 star item the trade will automatically become a secure trade and instead of the trade happening instantly you will have to wait for that person to approve the trade. If the trade is approved you will receive notification in your mailbox. You will not receive notification if it is denied so keep a watch out for it.
Working in the other direction if someone requests a trade of you that is uneven you will have to approve it.

How to make a Trade and Secure Trade Request

To make a specific trade request to a specific Neighbor follow these steps.
Go to your neighbor’s restaurant and look for the trade icon at the bottom left of the game screen. (See above)
A menu will appear that will let you scroll through your Neighbor’s unlocked items that are available for instant trade at the top of the screen and at the bottom of the screen you will see all of your items available for trade.
Click on the item you want and it will appear in your neighbors window.
Next click on the item you are offering to your neighbor as a trade then hit send.
If the trade is even it will go through instantly. If it is not even it becomes a secure trade and the other party will be able to consider, approve or deny it.
Your neighbor will receive a trade request in their mailbox where they can read your offer and you will receive a notification if they approve the secure trade.
If your trade request is denied you will NOT receive notification that it was denied.

Requesting Ingredients over the Live Feed

There is a feature that allows you to request a certain ingredient over the live feeds on Facebook.
Click on the Menu Icon and look to the bottom of the screen where you ingredient inventory is shown.
When you see a bull horn icon click on it and it will open up the menu seen in the image above.
Choose the ingredient you need and hit the green button.
A message will generate that will be placed on the live feeds for your Neighbors to see.
It will not guarantee someone will respond but if you respond to other people’s live feed requests they are more likely to respond to yours.
If you see someone requesting an ingredient that you have you can initiate a secure trade with them.
Items can never be gifted just traded for an item of equal value.

Garden – Growing Ingredients

Each restaurant has a garden next to it and you are eligible to grow items as you level up in the game one plot at a time.
Level 6 opens up the first of 9 plots.
Levels 6,13,18, 22, 24,26, 28,30 and 32 unlock a garden plot.
To plant a seed click on an empty activated plot.
It will cost at least 2000 coins to plant a seed.
You can not choose what kind of seed to plant. You pay for it and it is planted for you. You will not find out until the ingredient is harvested.
Once you plant a seed you must water it for it to grow to maturity.
Each time you click over the plot to water it you add 3 hours of watered time to the plant.
You can water the plant a maximum of three clicks or 9 hours.
If you do not water the plant it will dry out and stay frozen in whatever state of growth it was in until it is watered again.
Plants do not wither or die they just stay suspended until watered.
Each plant has 6 stages of growth. You will know it is mature when it gives off a sparkling effect.
A seed takes 48 hours to grow to maturity as long as it is watered regularly.
Fully grown plants are safe and will not wither or die.
To harvest a plant click on it and it will enter into your inventory for use in a recipe.
Here are the times for the growth stages of a planted seed:
Stage 1 – 48 hours of grow time to go.
Stage 2 – 38 hours and 24 Minutes of grow time to go.
Stage 3 –28 Hours and 48 Minutes of grow time to go.
Stage 4 – 19 Hours and 12 Minutes of grow time to go.
Stage 5 – 9 Hours and 36 Minutes of grow time to go.
Stage 6 – Fully Grown and ready for Harvesting.
NOTE – To see what each plant looks like as it is growing in the garden there is an excellent post at the Playfish Forums with all of this information shown here – http://forum.playfish.com/showthread.php?t=1180505

Fresh Ingredient Market

Outside of your restaurant toward the right next to your Garden is the Fresh Ingredient Market.
Click on the Market to see what items are for sale.
Each day there are 3 new items in the Market for you to purchase.
You can also purchase exclusive items using Playfish Cash only which are featured on sale at half price off daily.
Check back daily to see what items are on sale in the Market.

Energy

Energy represents how efficiently your workers are working in your restaurant.
Each worker is given 4 hours of work time and as they work their energy depletes. If they lose too much energy they will become very slow which will cause customers to become angry and leave which lowers your overall happiness rating.
There is a clock and an image of each employee at the bottom of your screen showing you how much time is left before they are exhausted.
There are 5 levels of energy – Dynamic, Energetic, Okay, Tired, and Exhausted.
Each level is slower than the one before it and is broken down as follows:
Dynamic – (Green Clock) 2:25 to 3 Work Time.
Energetic – (Teal Clock) 1:49 to 2:24 Work Time.
Okay – (Blue Clock) 1:13 to 1:48 Work Time.
Drowsy – (Purple Clock) 0:36 to 1:12 Work Time.
Exhausted – (Red Clock) 0 to 0:36 Work Time.
NOTE – 2 Hours and 25 minutes and above is when employees perform optimally.
Energy depletes at about 10% every 24 minutes.
NOTE- Each time you level up your employees are re-energized and the clocks are set back to 4 hours.

Restoring your Workers Energy

There are two ways to restore your worker’s energy levels and that is by feeding them a snack or resting them.
If you don’t have much money you can rest them.
Feeding them cost coins and there are 4 food items you can give your workers each giving them a different amount of energy.
NOTE – For Valentine’s Day 2010 Restaurant City Changed the energy food to sweets and increased the cost and amount of energy each item offered. They may revert back to the values below or change them to the new values after Valentine’s day is over but most likely the food will change back but the new cost and time values will stay. (See the Valentines Sweets for the increased times.)
Water – Cost – 60 Coins. Adds 45 Minutes of energy which is 25%.
Apple – Cost – 110 Coins. Adds 1 Hours and 30 Minutes of energy which is 50%.
Banana – Cost – 160 Coins. Adds 2 Hours and 15 Minutes of energy which is 75%.
Sandwich – Cost – 200 Coins. Adds 3 Hours. 100%
Valentine’s Sweets:
Ruby Juice – Cost 80 Coins. Adds 1 Hours of energy which is 25% increase.
Lolly – Cost 150 Coins. Adds 2 Hours of Energy which is 50% increase.
Sundae – Cost -200 Coins. Adds 3 Hours of energy which is 75% increase.
Sweets – Cost 280 Coins. Adds 4 Hours of energy which is 100% increase.

Resting your Employees

To rest your employee click on them and when the menu appears choose “Rest” at the top of the menu as if it is one of their jobs.
Resting renews the employees energy at triple the rate it is used.
Resting results in a halt in productivity as the employee will be removed from the restaurant while resting.
Some of your Neighbors may have beds for their employees to rest on.
Beds were offered for a limited time around Christmas 2009 and may be offered again in the future.
Beds allow an employee to rest up to 25% faster than normal.
NOTE – It is always best to rest employees in shifts so you never have all of them resting at the same time to insure you are always making money. Your customers might not be as happy with half staff but many customers will be fed versus none if you rest them all at once.

Closed Restaurants/Resting Your Employees

When your employees are completely exhausted they will collapse and your restaurant will automatically close and you will not be able to make a profit during this time.
If you can set things up so you can check in on your workers every 3 to 4 hours to feed and re-energize them you will be able to make the most profit in one day.
If you choose to rest your employees and put them all to sleep your restaurant will close and visitors will arrive to an empty restaurant.
Your popularity rating will be what it was when the restaurant closed when you open it again.

Restaurant Expansion

When you begin the game you have a restaurant that is 7×7 in dimension.
Each time you level up and are awarded with a bigger restaurant, your restaurant increases in size by one row of squares on one side until you hit the maximum size of 18 x 18 which you will reach at level 31. (see “Levels” to determine at which levels your restaurant size is increased)
The plot of land next to your restaurant also expands at this rate alongside your restaurant.

Finding Coins – Trees and Gardens

If you scroll through the area outside of a restaurant you will see 2 types of trees. If you click on these trees you may see coins coming out. This is a great way to earn extra coins.
If you click on your Neighbor’s planted garden you can water the plants for them and may at times earn a few coins for doing so. This is random and a great way to earn extra coins.

Purchasing Outside Restaurant Expansions

RC_91.jpg
RC_92.jpg

Once you reach level 20 you are eligible to purchase the outside area next to the restaurant at various levels until it is just as big as the restaurant at 18 x 18.
Click on the Red “For Sale” sign when you are ready to purchase this land expansion.
The expansions unlock at levels 20,25,30,35,40,45 and 50.
NOTE – Occasionally there are sale prices on these expansions (Half off in February) but the full prices are listed below.

Recipes/Menu

To access your restaurant’s menu click on the menu on wall or the “Change Menu” icon at the lower center area of the game screen. (There is a fork and knife crossed on the cover)
You will be taken to an area where you can see your ingredient inventory and learn and choose various recipes to place on your menu.
You start the game with one starter dish which is Tomato and Basil Soup, one main dish of Margarita Pizza and one dessert dish which is a fruit plate. When you reach level 15 you will be able to serve drinks and will have a glass of water unlocked right away.
You are asked to choose an item to place on your menu after you learn it.
If you have all the ingredients for a dish they will be shown highlighted right underneath and the button will turn bright green with the word “Learn” on it. When you click on this you will use the ingredients and they will be removed from your inventory.
Each time you obtain the correct ingredients for a dish you can level the dish up which will make it worth more Gourmet points and this can help you level up much faster.
You can level up a dish 9 times which will show it at a maximum level 10. Each time you level up a dish it will gain a new title.
NOTE -The number of dishes you can serve in a category will increase as you level up. When you reach level 10 you can serve 2 dishes from each category and when you reach level 20, you can serve 3 dishes from each category.

Leveling up Dishes

When a customer is served a dish you earn coins and Gourmet Points. Beginner Dishes are considered level 0 and a dish must be at level 1 before it can be served in the restaurant.
Beginner dishes are given to your for free when you begin the game and there is one in each category of the menu. The menu items given to you when you start the game are automatically at level 1 so you can begin serving them right away.
Your beginning Dishes are:
Starter – Tomato and Basil Soup
Main Dish – Margarita Pizza
Dessert – Fruit Selection
Drinks – (Opens up at level 15) Glass of Water
When you level up you will notice changes in the appearance of the dish but the amount you earn in coins will not change. Just the amount of Gourmet Points will increase.
The plate the food is served on will change appearance and over time you will learn which plate represents which level.
Gourmet points are earned when an empty plate is cleared from the table.
You earn 1 gourmet point for each plate of food you serve and as you advance your recipes you will earn an additional 0.2 Gourmet points per dish and they always earn you 2 coins no matter what level is reached.

Gourmet Points earned for leveling up a single menu item

As stated earlier you can level up any item on the menu from level 1 to 10.
When you learn a new dish and when you level up a particular menu item you will earn Gourmet Points. (GP) The amount of GP increases as your level increases.
Here is the breakdown of Gourmet Points earned:
Learn – Advance to level 1 – 25 GP.
Level 2 – 50 GP
Level 3 – 100 GP
Level 4 – 200 GP
Level 5 – 300 GP
