Ok! I admit it. I play one of those annoying Zynga games. I'm pretty much addicted to Café World. I know I'll eventually get over it, like I get over any other games I tend to get hooked to. I don't play it because I enjoy cooking all these different dishes and because I care about my restaurant ratings. I play to figure out how to make the most money and how to make my Café look awesome. Have a look at my cafe. I command you to agree that it's awesome Ok let's talk business(virtual) now.

1. How to make a lot of money.

It's simple. Cook the dish that generates the most money - on all your stoves. No I'm not kidding. Cook it over and over. Who cares really? Takes equal number of clicks to get it cooking. The customers that come in aren't exactly too picky about what they want to eat. So why do you care for your menu to have such variety? If you cook the dish that generates the most money overall, you're increasing you're buzz rating, you're making tons of money and you're gaining more experience points too. Yes, this dish will probably need more time to cook, even two days, but patience, my friend, is a virtue.
Now you might say that, what if I want to cook everyday to gain the rewards that come with cooking daily. That takes us to the next point.

2. How to cook dishes that take 2 days to cook over and over again everyday.

Suppose you have 14 stoves. Put the two day dish(Dish A) on 7 of them. Put a 1 day dish(Dish B) on the rest. The next day, Dish B will be ready. Now put Dish A to cook on these stoves too and you have a cycle going. One set of 7 stoves are ready to serve everyday. You cook everyday. And you get your everyday rewards, well, everyday.

3. How to increase your buzz rating.

The above two points should help you increase your buzz rating. But if you are not satisfied, then you need to learn what teleporting(read cheating) is.
Teleporting is disabling your waiters from moving around which leads to automatic service for your customers. You can either go with that definition or understand it as a glitch in the game that you can take advantage of to increase your buzz ratings.
What you need to do is make a square or a rectangle with your counters. If you don't have enough counters, you can take the help of any other decorative objects, your stoves even. This should trap your waiters and allow teleportation of your food.

Here is a screen shot to help you understand what I mean by making squares and rectangles and trapping your waiters.

This is how I’ve trapped my waiters. I’ve made a rectangle formation with my stoves and counters and some decoration items. You can make any kind of formation, just make sure you’re using all your counters.

4.Why should I make coffee?

If your coffee machine is out of the box, then you should start making coffee. It helps increase your buzz ratings when you have empty serving stands.

5. What's the best way around making coffee?

The best way in my opinion is to master all three levels of each coffee in each category. When you master level 3, you get an instant energy boost which makes it easier to start mastering the next coffee on the list. The fastest way to serve the coffee is to stay near the door, click on customers with a coffee bubble as soon as they walk into the café. Don't let them wander off, because then they'll either be hard to find or already be served food.

6. What’s the deal with the catering business?

Recently, the catering business was introduced to Café World. It came with the outdoor decorating. The catering and the coffee business are mini games within the game if you will. They keep me from getting bored of doing the same thing over and over again. You can start your catering business by first collecting recommendations. You can do this by asking your friends. They’ll help you because they want you to help them back =P After your catering truck is ready, you can start selling dishes to Dale. The first dish you sell to Dale will be your first order and you’ll have to sell him a specified number of the servings of the same dish to complete that order, so choose wisely. A competition to complete your first order ended yesterday only and yes I took part. Completed my first order 4 days ago=D

7. How to earn Café Points.

Cooking dishes is probably the best way to earn Café Points. Another way is to visit your friend’s cafes everyday. This worked pretty good for me. So much so that I was advancing a level everyday or every other day.

This is my take on the game so far. Ask me anything if you have any questions. Correct me if I’m wrong with something. Leave more tips on the comments =) And finally, a screenshot of my cafe. Don’t have time to make a good resolution picture today, so bare with the bad quality. May be I’ll write another post about how you can take a better screenshot of your cafe.
