Cooking Fever – Thai Food Stall Strategy Guide

Level Guide

Use this level guide to help develop your playing strategy. Upgrade suggestions in the Noteworthy column are based on upgrades we needed to pass levels.

Number of Guests – This number can be an indicator of how much people will order and what they may be ordering. After Level 15, a low number of guests might mean that they will be ordering multiple menu items or it could be an indicator that there won’t be enough earnings to get 3 stars unless you hand out treats or increase the price of the popular items. A high number of guests might be an indicator that many guests will be just ordering beverages or an add-on item instead of the main dishes.

Popular Foods – These are menu items that are ordered often during the level. Prepare these items in advance and store them on your Tabletop or on warmers so that they are ready to hand out as soon as they are ordered. Upgrading these items before starting the level can also increase your level earnings.

Noteworthy – This is extra information that might be helpful during the level. This includes upgrade strategy recommendations.

Strategy and Upgrade Tips

If you’re having trouble with the Wok, the trick to stirring the Wok is to trace the rim until the ladle appears.
Upgrade your Wok, Soda Dispenser and Cutting Board as soon as possible.
The Lights in the Interior Upgrades are only 5000 Coins, so upgrade them right away
Each upgrade of the Wok increases the time the soup ladle is available by 2 seconds (2/4/6) and reduces how many stirs it takes until the ladle appears. And since all dishes include the Soup, the Wok should be upgraded whenever possible.
You can pour Soup into several bowls while the soup ladle is available, so upgrade your tabletop and fill as many bowls with soup as you can at once.
Wok, Noodles, Eat-In Plate and Soda L1 upgrades increase prices by $3.
By Level 23, develop a routine of having two Take-Away and two Eat-In Plates each prepped with Rice and Noodles before customers arrive.
Set up your Plates before stirring the soup in the Wok
The Automatic Wok becomes available around Level 30 for 30 gems. It will definitely improve game play and your chance of passing levels. Purchase it within 72 hours.
