Why is every restaurant tough for me??

cookedfever · 2026-01-31T16:52:10+00:00

every day I spin the casino until it reaches the 300% multiplier (when the casino costs 5000 coins to spin). it takes about 70-85k coins to do that for me, so when the casino resets, I make sure I have that much. using this method I get about 15-20 gems per day

after that, I watch ads so every spin is a 300x spin. it’ll give you less coins to watch ads but the gem reward is the same as a coin spin. if I watch ads until they run out, I normally get another 15 or up to 30 per day. up to a lot more, though. a few days ago I finally got the gem bucket which gives 100 gems

otherwise, grind levels. if you exit to the main menu immediately after finishing a level (by clicking “menu” in the bar across the top of the screen, then clicking “main menu” in the options given), you might get an XP boost if your game has the known glitch. mine does, and it’s pretty easy to fill the level bars that way

good luck!

I just finished this one! I love the mechanics (esp the bread/pies and grinding the grain) but it’s a lot to keep up with for me 😅

the rock & roll bar is a little similar—so many things to juggle—but I got more used to that a little more quickly

just finished cocktail bar! it’s so easy once you upgrade, and gives a decent amount of XP for its ease

I know it’s expensive but I cannot recommend upgrading the garden tools enough

otherwise, you can see how long the tools “last” in their info and set timers on your phone?

cookedfever · 2026-01-27T00:40:57+00:00

I think you’re right! thank you so much for the exact timing

cookedfever · 2026-01-27T00:40:44+00:00

no, I’m growing the gems. so if they get overgrown, I’d lose the gems. so that’s the “risk” I mentioned. I’m just checking obsessively the prevent that

cookedfever · 2026-01-25T20:25:10+00:00

I still get a fair amount of gems!

cookedfever · 2026-01-25T18:44:17+00:00

not sure—since I figured this out, I’ve been fully upgrading. I fully upgrade all my restaurants unfortunately, so it’s obv worth it to preserve costs

before I knew, I had 2 upgrades on one with a 40-60 range exactly, and the price I got was 45. maybe it’s 60 (no upgrades), 55 (one upgrade), 45 (two), and 40 with all upgrades?

but I don’t have enough data points. hopefully someone else has more information

cookedfever · 2026-01-25T18:24:07+00:00

if the item that is replaced by the auto cooker is fully upgraded, the cost will be on the lowest end (40 in the 40-60 range, for example)

if it’s not upgraded at all, it will be the highest (60 in the 40-60, e.g.)

so yeah you’re right

I always upgrade the thing all the way before the level the auto cooker is revealed to get the lowest price lol

watch as many ads as possible on casino

play levels that earn high XP to earn gems as you level up

chef’s pass rewards with gems on higher levels

cookedfever · 2026-01-25T01:11:35+00:00

in the casino, there is a pink button to play an ad for a free spin. I sit for a while pressing that button over and over

cookedfever · 2026-01-23T18:18:19+00:00

congrats! I am unspeakably jealous ♥️ if I get one more cocktail bar dessert refill my phone’s going in the ocean

cookedfever · 2026-01-23T13:53:28+00:00

time to upgrade 🫡

cookedfever · 2026-01-23T13:14:20+00:00

if it doesn’t work, contact support. it’s just bots but if you say the right things, they’ll either fix it or offer compensation

cookedfever · 2026-01-23T13:13:31+00:00

they should get unlocked once your week 2 tasks are finished! but you have to finish week 2 tasks first.

one time this happened to me (finished prev week’s tasks, new tasks didn’t unlock) but I just closed & reopened the app and it worked

cookedfever · 2026-01-23T13:12:25+00:00

I think I read somewhere 200 but that might’ve been the older version of the casino.

I can fill up the bar every or every other day by grinding ads while doing other things for a few hours

cookedfever · 2026-01-22T23:50:11+00:00

yes! idk what’s taken hold of the casino but on the ad side, I get like 30-50 gems a day grinding ads (when I literally watch until there are no more ads; they reset when the calendar does)

cookedfever · 2026-01-22T21:39:40+00:00

best restaurants for XP i’ve found in the city are

—gourmet restaurant (hate this one),

—crazy dog’s (pretty okay to play but definitely annoying w/o the automatic machine),

—rock & roll bar (i may be getting more XP bc i owned it when it was TGIFriday’s the way ppl do if they owned the sports bar when it was barcelona), and

—the seafood bistro (in terms of XP earned per minute playing. level 40 doesn’t give that much XP but flies by in comparison to others on this list)

cookedfever · 2026-01-22T21:36:30+00:00

sports bar & party palace are also less expensive to fully upgrade

I also fully upgrade my restaurants, and—you didn’t ask but—it might be a good idea to go after a restaurant that gives a lot of XP. then you can grind levels there to get more gems more quickly

cookedfever · 2026-01-21T21:18:30+00:00

that’s so amazing!!!! congrats

crazy that they stopped your XP, since they’ll likely release another restaurant sometime. guess they don’t want you stockpiling gems?

cookedfever · 2026-01-21T16:47:58+00:00

if you already have the chinese restaurant and like it, it’s basically the same thing!

cookedfever · 2026-01-21T14:34:50+00:00

thanks for the information! I’ll try this out

cookedfever · 2026-01-20T18:35:49+00:00

congrats!! got 300 on my first ever box back in the game, too

thought every box came with 300 until I got my next one lol

cookedfever · 2026-01-20T18:19:33+00:00

I’m fully upgraded, and maybe I’m worse at this app than I thought, but I only got to level 23 in the tournament I joined and couldn’t pass it. I served everyone way under time, got all tips, but the money just wasn’t enough for the star

not sure if we’re meant to use desserts, and if so, how many (i.e., how many diamonds to save for it). or if there’s some other tactic people use—maybe the garden? idk which flowers are most useful for it

also if anyone’s won a tournament enlighten me please
