Cooking Fever – Restaurant Kitchen Upgrade Gem Costs

Cooking Fever – Restaurant Kitchen Upgrade Gem Costs

Return to the Cooking Fever – Ultimate Strategy Guide

This list displays the gem upgrade costs for each restaurant, along with XP received for level 40 and the daily income.   Some restaurants require a lot of upgrades in order to pass levels.  This can be really frustrating if you’re just starting out, or you are running low on gems;  so it may be best to purchase a restaurant that doesn’t require as many gems to upgrade.

The number of gems needed to upgrade all kitchen items to Level 1 and Level 2 are shown.  However, it’s not always necessary to upgrade every kitchen item in order to pass levels.

If you’re trying to figure out which restaurants you should buy, we’ve listed our preferred purchase order.  After playing 4 iterations of Cooking Fever from the beginning, our preferred purchase order for Paradise Island when we’re just starting out is listed below.  Our rationale is that we want restaurants that earn a lot of XP and don’t require as many coins/gems to upgrade.  So we save the restaurants with the lowest earning XP and/or most expensive to upgrade for last.
