Cafe World Tricks: Keep Up Buzz Rating

Date: Oct 15, 2009 Category: Cafe World

Facebook’s Cafe World has a Buzz rating feature, which tells people how popular your restaurant is. The buzz rating is also there to grade you and your waiters on how well the food is served. To keep your buzz rating up on Cafe World, have a variety of dishes served and have two waiters on staff. I have found that serving three dishes at a time works well to get Cafe World buzz up. Also, blocking my waiters with counters and tables gets them to serve faster.

Cafe World’s buzz goes down if a customer cannot find a seat or is not served in a timely manner. Your buzz also goes down if there is no food to eat. The highest buzz rating your Cafe can have is 105.

Here’s a few tricks to keep you Cafe World buzz up:

Serve three dishes at a time. One counter will serve one dish, even if you have 4 orders of bacon cheeseburger you only need one counter to serve it. People like variety, so make three cheap dishes right away.
Do not serve several drinks to the same customers. I have found that serving drinks (found in your gift box) to the same customers will bring the buzz down. Serve them once, then wait for a new batch of patrons.
Serve customers quickly. Do this by blocking your waiters with tables and counters (if you do not have enough counters from the beginning). Form a straight line with counters and tables so the waiters are stuck on the same side as your stoves. They will immediately clean and serve.
Have room for customers to walk around – they have to be able to move and access a chair. If they don’t, they will leave.
Place several doors and entrances – Doors are free in Cafe World. Add several doors on each wall for easy customer access, so they always find a seat. Add plenty of chairs and tables, but make sure that they can be reached by customers.
Close up shop – At night, take all your doors down. Click on “Function” and drag all your doors to the inventory. It will close up shop so no customers are buzzing down. You won’t get coins because no one is getting served, but your buzz won’t go down either.
Use this time to cook dishes, as many as you can – like triple berry cheesecake that takes 12 hours. By the time you are up in the morning, you will have dishes that are ready to serve and your buzz will be high. The higher the buzz, the more customers and more coins you will be making.

It really doesn’t matter so much with the variety of food. My rating hit 105 by making sure customers are served quickly and the tables were cleaned quickly but I only had one dish with lots of servings. If a customer sits on a table with a dirty plate they leave quickly, causing buzz to go down by 0.5. Boxing in staff, I agree makes them work more efficiently, and making sure customers can actually get to their seats it also extremely important. If you run out of food, exit the cafe altogether and come back when your food is due to be ready. I always make sure they are big, high serving meals like pot roasts, turkeys and gingerbread houses.

HELP! I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I added more windows and doors and now I tried to box in the waiters. But I can’t figure out how to get them behind the counters/tables to begin with. Once they are there, if I go to move tables, they appear on the other side. Any tips? Thanks!!
