Top 5 Tips and Tricks for PlayFish Restaurant City

PlayFish introduced this game some time ago and until today, it has a bunch of followers and fans all over the world. The main reason for this success is the balance that it kept in its simplicity  between difficulty and rewards. But, as you probably already noticed, since its not the easiest game out there, a lot of players started to read endless guides in an attempt to optimize every tiny detail in how things should work in their restaurant.
But, not all of us have the time or even mood to read. Lets face it, there are players like you and me that in times are kinda lazy. And since lazy is the main emotion that forced progress, we discovered that reading tips is far better than reading big texts and endless introductions :P So lets cut to the subject. Today's Tricks list is:

1. Friends, friends friends and when you have enough of them then find even some more! They are one important source of income of coins and ingredients of this game. You will never have enough of them! How to find some more? Your friends friends and their friends are a good start. After that check out forums and networks. When you ask, be straight forward. Simply be polite and say please wanna be my friend in restaurant city? Simple as that :)
2. Yes i know but, unfortunately things in this game DON'T function as in real life. For example expensive stoves, chairs, tables, toilets etc are performing EXACTLY the same like the cheap ones. So buying them is pretty useless save two reasons. First is beauty. Self explained, no need to say anything. The second however is a long shot. By fixing a very nice Restaurant, in the end you can have better rating from other players (if you join the rating system). Thus affecting your popularity. But as i already told, its a long shot.
3. Some things are not obvious, yet very important. The table layout is one of the most critical things that can either get your popularity to 50 or totally ruin you. The most popular layout is the so called "islands layout". You can find more info on that in this Optimal Restaurant City Table Layout guide. Also absence of toilets is actually recommended. Check the Restaurant City Toilets guide for info on that.
4. As i usually say in all articles, most of the errors in this game are temporary. It happens simply because of the nature of Internet. All you can do is give it some time and try again. To prevent them however, the things you can do is to have your Operating System updated, to have the latest version of Flash player and an updated Antivirus. Be careful though, if you intend to cheat using the program called cheat engine, you should know that it requires (most of the times) earlier versions of Flash player. Usually 9.x for the cheats to work.
5. Last tip of the day is simple. Don't try to make a science out of this game. Spend to much time in optimization and reading and you loose all the fun! Its like looking at the tree and loosing the forest! Just try to enjoy the game. Be good with your friends, send them whatever it is useless to you and it is guaranteed that they will help you back!

That's all for now. You should check the 101 Restaurant City Tips and Tricks list that can be found at this PlayFish Cheats site, if you want more articles. Happy gaming!
