If you don’t know much about Restaurant City, one of the hottest new Facebook social networking games, you’re probably just turning on your computer for the first time in months. Restaurant City challenges players to create awesome restaurants that bring in customers and of course tons of profit. The best part is that you have to get your friends involved in order to succeed. But one of the things you need to focus on most is creating level 10 dishes. Here are some Restaurant City tips to help you out.

Before you begin investing time in creating level 10 dishes, you need to know why it’s so important. To level up in Restaurant City, there are many different points you need to keep track of. Two of these are experience and popularity points. Without high levels of these points, you’re not going to be able to move forward in the game. Also, to have more control over how your restaurant operates, you’re going to need more coins. Getting these point and coins relies on you creating level 10 dishes.

A fatal mistake you might make while playing Restaurant City is making this difficult and time consuming when you don’t need to. By now you’re probably thinking you need over 200+ ingredients that will have you playing the game for months on end. You would be wrong though. Restaurant City doesn’t need you to have ALL the level 10 dishes. It only needs you to have one level 10 dish in each course. Don’t forget this when creating your menu.

A word of advice if you’re trying to find ingredients – don’t spend your money on Playfish cash. Your best asset when playing Restaurant City is your time and a little bit of strategy to find the ingredients that will help you he most. The best advice I can give you is to be really careful about the dishes you pick. The ingredients they contain should be your guiding force when trying to create a level 10 dish.

If you pick a dish that uses cheese, cream, or sugar, you’re going to face an uphill battle. So many dishes need these ingredients that you’ll be limited as to what you can accomplish due to supply and demand. This makes sense when you think about it. There is only a certain amount of ingredients to be spread around Restaurant City. If other people need the same ingredients you do, you’re all going to be competing and hurting each other from reaching level 10.

For a quick strategy, look at the different menu options and scrutinize the ingredients they take. If you see a recipe that doesn’t need a ton of in demand ingredients, that’s the one you should focus on making a level 10. Then, you can focus on setting up an excellent layout in your restaurant so that those dishes can go out quicker and earn you more coins.
