Cooking Fever – Italian Buffet

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

Continually click on your Soup Stove throughout the level so that it is always refilling the soup. Keep it fully stocked at all times and click on it even when its already full.
You can restock your Mini Panettone mid-level.
As soon as you have enough coins, upgrade the Tables, Vase, Logo, Rug, Clock to L1.
You can pre-load coffee beans into the Coffee Maker
Just tap on your Spaghetti and Ravioli and it will automatically load in the Pot (no need to drap it in there)
The Automatic Coffee Cream Dispenser becomes available somewhere after Level 23
Levels 8, 9 and 25 were difficult to get 3 stars without upgrades
