Hints, Tricks and Cheats in Cafe World
- Activity continues at your café even when the game is closed.
- When you run out of food block the door to your café, this can be done with a chair, plant or with the velvet rope, which can be purchased from the store.
- If there are diners in the café when you block the door, they will finish eating and leave, but no more customers will come in to the café
- When the door is blocked the food will keep cooking but no customers will enter, so your buzz rating will not go down.
- The buzz rating is indicated by the number beside the thumbs up on the top right of the screen.
- The buzz rating determines how popular your café is and therefore how many people enter.
- It seems that the highest possible buzz rating is 105 at the current time.
- While you have the door blocked if you go into the store, visit a neighbor, or close the game, customers will be there when you return to your cafe, but the buzz rating will be the same as when you left. If you still don't have any food prepared your buzz rating will be reduced when those customers leave.
- When you have the door blocked, either leave the game open or time it so that when you return food will be ready to serve.
- A simple door is free and you can have as many doors as you wish, even a whole wall of doors.
- You can remove the door, just drop it onto the tool bar.
- The door will be available to you when you are ready, unless you sell it.
- You can sell the door, but it will be at a reduced price, when you purchase a new door you will have to pay full price.
- As you reach higher levels you will be able to purchase more stoves and serving counters.
- Through the various tool bars you will be able to purchase a variety of items for your Café.
- When you replace items, such as the floor, wall coverings, etc. they will be put back into your inventory.
- When you own an item you will see a number when you go into the shop menu, this shows how many you own of a specific item.
- You may sell items in your inventory by dragging them onto the cash register, it will always be sold back for much less than you paid for the item.
- You may visit a neighbors café by clicking their picture, or the "neighbors" tab on the menu.
- Occasionally during game play a notice will pop up that one of your neighbors needs help, and you will have the option to help or decline.
- Helping neighbors is a good way to make coins and extra points, it also allows you to see their café.
