The Value of a High Popularity Rating in Café World



Whenever you put a dish together in Café World, your goal should be to make the customers who are about to eat it happy. This is how you can maintain a higher rating for your café, get more customers, get more XP, and ultimately get more coins. That’s a lot of moving parts, so you’d better have a good idea of how to keep them all moving in line with one another as you develop your restaurant from the ground up.

Everything you do in your café should be centered on customer happiness. To make that process as easy as possible, here are a few things to keep in mind for your restaurant as you move forward.

Service First, Decoration Second

The goal of your restaurant is to make dishes and serve them to your customers. If you don’t bother to do this, you’re wasting a whole lot of time. That said, the urge to spend some coins and time redecorating is often too great to pass up. Only make changes to your restaurant if they are going to increase or maintain the number of customers you have coming in. That new table layout may look really cool, but if drops your rating score by 5 points, it’s not a good addition to the café.

Topping Out the Buzz Rating

The Buzz Rating, or the number of thumbs up you get, as displayed in the top right corner of the screen is a hugely important number for any restaurant. If that number drops, your customers are not happy. If that number goes up, you’re doing something right. You’ll find that the number tops out at certain points as you level up – don’t let that bother you too much. Just make sure the rating never goes down without a good reason. You want it to keep climbing as you progress – all the better to increase both coins and XP gain as you get higher up.

Getting the Food to the Customers

You want to be sure that you can get your dishes finished and served to your customers as quickly as possible. As a result, you need to be sure that you logon to the game as soon as the dishes you prepared are ready. If you have it set for a 12 hour timer, try to be online within 13 hours so that you can rotate out your dishes and get those hot new foods into the bellies of your customers. Additionally, work on speeding up the serving process. Put serving tables directly next to tables in small clusters and provide enough servers to get between tables and customers as fast as possible. The more efficient the serving process, the happier your customers will be with that high speed service you’re offering.

The goal of Café World is to make customers happy. If you succeed at doing that, you’re going to go a long way toward creating a highly efficient, highly successful restaurant that anyone will enjoy visiting. Most of all though, remember to have fun.

The Key to Making Coins in Café World



Like just about any other Facebook game out there right now, the goal of most Café World fans is to make as many coins as possible. The cost of getting all that extra Café Cash is largely prohibitive at best, but coins can be gathered relatively easily and in large amounts, depending greatly on how much time you have to invest into the game each day. If you spend hours a day playing the game, you’ll make a lot of coins. But, there are some things that work better than others – hence, this article. Let’s take a look at some top coin making tricks for Café World.

Creating a Schedule that Works

Café World is built around the idea of you being logged into the game and playing as much as possible. If you cannot do that, you need to adjust your game play strategy so that you can still make a decent chunk of coin without being online all the time.

How do you do that? To start with, you immediately cut out all the items that are cooked right away. If you’re not logged on to the game more than once every 24 hours, you should not be cooking bacon or cheeseburgers that can be done in just 5 minutes. You should be cooking stews and pot roast – dishes that will take a full 24 hours to complete.

If you don’t cook dishes that take that entire timeframe to cook, you’re going to be stuck with a whole array of spoiled food, which is ultimately wasted coins that could have gone toward other dishes or upgrades to your café.

So, you should create a schedule, even if you just do it in your head real quick. When can you login each day and for how long? If you know you’re going to be online all day, such as on a Saturday, feel free to cook up those short dishes.

The Right Balance

Just because a dish fits you time frame doesn’t mean it’s a valuable dish though. You also need to be sure that it has a good coin per hour rate. To determine the coin per hour rate, divide the number of coins you will make by the hours it takes you to cook and serve that dish. For example, if you will make 100 coins with a dish that takes 4 hours to cook, the coin per hour rate is 25 coins.

In addition to finding dishes with high coin per hour rates that match your schedule, you can visit your fellow players and help them out around their cafes. This might seem like a little extra work, but you can make 20 coins per visit you make to each friend on your neighbors list each day. There is a cap of 20 visits per day, but that’s still 400 coins a day just for doing a little traveling.

What you do with your coins is entirely up to you, but you may as well have a lot of them to make that decision with. Cook the right dishes, do some visiting and have fun decorating your café as much as possible.

High Speed Leveling Path that Works in Café World



One of biggest desires of every Café World player out there is to be able to level up as fast as possible. They get tired of being stuck at Level 10, watching their neighbors skyrocket upwards, and no wonder – there are so many more cool things you can do when you get up into the 20s and 30s. So, here are some tips to help you get the most possible XP to reach the highest levels in the game in no time.

Start by Knowing What to Cook

If you cook the wrong dishes, you’re never going to level up. Each dish has a different cooking time, serving volume, and number of Café Points awarded for each customer you serve it to. As a result, the dishes you choose to cook will have a big impact on how fast you can reach the upper levels. For the most part, the best dishes to cook when trying to level up are the ones that cook the fastest. You can serve far more customers that way and, if you are online frequently, you can rotate new dishes in every 5 minutes or so.

Two good examples of this are Bacon Cheeseburgers and Chips and Guacamole. Both dishes take only 5 minutes to cook and they give 7 and 5 café points for finishing them up. If you can stay logged on and cook these dishes over and over again, you will get far more points than you would by cooking a 24 hour dish that only awards slightly more café points.

The Right Layout and Schedule

Now that you know what to cook, you should know how to setup your café and develop a schedule for cooking those dishes. This is important in more ways than just leveling. It will directly affect your Buzz Rating as well as how many coins you can make per hour – two stats you want to keep a close eye on as you get higher in levels. Eventually, those two stats will be all that matters to you.

For now, you should try to setup your café so that servers don’t need to travel far between customers and serving tables. This will speed up service and if you are rotating a new dish out every 5 minutes, it will boost your buzz rating and get you more customers, which means more café points and higher levels.

Scheduling is equally important in that you may not be able to log on to the game for hours at a time to cook burgers every 5 minutes. That’s why Zynga includes a variety of dishes that can be cooked over the course of many different intervals – from 2 hours to 48 hours. Choose dishes with high Café point rewards over a time frame that works for you.

In the end, you want to be as well versed in the dynamics and strategies of Café World as possible. This means balancing the different aspects of leveling up in regards to your café point gain alongside your coin increase and your buzz rating. Pull that off and you’ll be well on your way to the upper ratings.
