If you want to succeed in Restaurant City (and you do, or why would you be playing?) then the quickest way is to add Level 10 dishes to your menu. This is the highest level in the game and will bring huge rewards to you, the restaurant owner. For instance, if you serve any ‘ordinary’ – meaning lower level – dish on your menu you will receive a certain number of Popularity and Experience points from your customers. However, with a Level 10 dish, those points will approximately triple.
Along with higher points you have other advantages with high level menus. First of all, your customers will be happier and you can charge more for your meals. With increased capital comes the ability to invest in your restaurant and constantly increase its value. For instance, you will be able to hire more servers so that service is of a higher quality. Or you will be able to create different layouts and add services that increase your ability to please diners.
Obviously, there are many reasons to want Level 10 menu items, like Royal Pumpkin Soup, Tiger Prawn Platter or Royal Caribbean Chicken Salad on your menu. But how hard is it to accomplish? Pretty tough, actually, because each Level 10 items requires approximately 2100 ingredients! Considering that there are 50+ Level 10 menu items, not counting the drinks, it’s obvious that this is a tough challenge.
However, you can breathe a sigh of relief when you realize that you don’t have to acquire tens of thousands of ingredients because all you really need is one Level 10 dish for each of the three courses in Restaurant City, which are Starter (another name for appetizer), the Main course and Dessert. So if you serve Camembert Baked In A Box as a Starter, Royal Chicken Tikka Masala for a Main course and Royal Chocolate Cake With Ice Cream as Dessert, you’re playing in the Level 10 playground.
This reality simplifies restaurant matters quite a bit, because getting the ingredients you’d need to offer all 53 of the Level 10 recipes on your menu would take months to complete unless you had hundreds of friends to help you. So, you need to spend a great deal more time visiting other restaurants, finding the perfect menu items and acquiring the ingredients for at least three Level 10 menu items (of course, more are definitely better!)
Acquiring menu ingredients 101: every day Restaurant City supplies a mixture of ingredients to its players so that is a great source. But, you can’t choose what you get – it’s simply potluck. So you may have items you don’t need and trade those for what you need for a particular menu item. Obviously it’s an advantage to have lots of friends because the greater the number, the greater the potential for trades. You can also choose to participate in Restaurant City quizzes and you will receive rewards for answering questions correctly. And if all else fails, you can use real, honest-to-goodness, real world money and buy what you need.
In addition, to needing large numbers of ingredients, it’s important to know that some menu items are easier to create than others. For instance, some ingredients are used in multiple items. These are common items like vanilla, butter, milk or cheese and they are used in dozens of menu items so their use depends totally on supply. Pomegranate, however, appears in only one dish so if you acquire it you will only have one Level 10 recipe for which it is useful.
The best way to succeed in Restaurant City: clearly, serving Level 10 dishes will propel any player to the top in a hurry due to more money and customer satisfaction. However, when you make money choose to invest it in efficient layouts and more personnel so that your customers will receive super-efficient service. It’s smart to invest in entertainment, such as video games, to entertain patrons while they’re waiting. You might end up being a restaurant mogul with several restaurants under your ownership and be acknowledged as a raving success.
If you choose to be prosperous as a Restaurant City proprietor who acquires piles of Restaurant City money then you must find out how to purchase Level 10 foods and to handle your staff members.
