Cooking Fever – House of Crab Strategy Guide

Level Guide

Use this level guide to help develop your playing strategy.

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.

First Orders
– These are the first food items that customers will be ordering when
the Level starts. There is a slight delay before the first customer
shows up, so use this information to prepare their orders in advance and
get a jump start on the level.

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.

Strategy and Upgrade Tips

Upgraded ingredients earn more. But burning them costs more as well.
It will be fairly difficult to get past the first five levels without upgrading the primary appliances and interior items. Keep all four customer slots filled with money until you are ready to serve the next customer, then remove only one slot of money at a time.
If you have enough gems, upgrade your Crab Pot, Tabletop, and Grapefruit Juice Dispenser to Level 1 when you start the game.
