Cooking Fever – Michelle’s Cafe

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

Continually click on your brownie oven throughout the level so that it is always be baking brownies.
Dining Tables at top right upgrade is $10000 (no gems needed)
The Automatic Stroopwafel Maker becomes available around Level 27 and is available for purchase within 72 hours for 40 gems.
As a bonus, this is the first restaurant that rewards you with gems when you complete selected tasks.
Once the Iced Coffee becomes available at level 22, pretty much every customer will order it along with a dessert and coffee so upgrade it to speed up preparation time as soon as you can.
Stuck on a level? Use Cheesecake to get a higher score.
If your Iced Coffee Machine seems to freeze up at the end of each level after L25, download any new updates.
