This is how I got expert on 3-8 (after trying several different things).

I only used 4 tables and sat 4 groups at a time. I used the two six seaters and two of the 4 seaters (never used any two seaters). I went to the podium in the beginning until I had a decent line formed. Then I sat 4 groups, using the best color schemes I could, even if I sat 2 people at a six seater. I also sat everyone before the senior citizens.

After seating them, I go back to the podium. If everyone in line is happy, I'll get crab sticks...if not, then I let it go. I stay at the podium until everyone's menu is down, then collect the orders and drop them. Then back to the podium. Then give out all the food and back to the podium. Wait until all plates are empty and give out all checks. Then go and clear off 2 tables, then the other two.

Then, back to the podium, where I try to figure out the best color matches before seating anyone. You can really rack up a lot of points if you choose carefully.

Just make sure you use the same four tables and only seat four groups at a time. When I got over 12000 points, I had 4 groups of senior citizens still in line, and it was way easy after that.

Good Luck!! Hope this helps...let me know!

Use only the center three tables and one of the two seaters. Use only these tables and ignore the rest. Seat 4 groups at a time, always the business women first and leave the senior citizens until last.

Stay at the podium until you have enough groups in line to seat your first four with no old men. Seat the four groups and go back to the podium.

After a full heart, go pick up and drop off orders. Back to the podium until you get a heart. Drop off the food, back to the podium. Give checks to all four then clear off 2, then the other 2. Back to the podium.

Carefully plan you color matching. This got me over 2000 points toward the end of the game at one seating.

Just make sure to consistently use just 4 tables to get your color bonuses up, and keep going back to the podium. As long as the seated people have a decent amount of hearts, let them wait.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for you tips! they worked out the first time I tried it! Now I'm on the third level of the third resturant. Thank you so much!

[karenmon]

I'm glad to help! If I didn't find this forum and take the advice of a few other people, I'd be pulling my hair out!

I really hope they come out with a Diner Dash 2, because I'm really bored too. I NEVER played computer games, but for some reason this one hooked me.

I'm on my third way around playing and if I don't get expert, I do the level again...how sad is that?

My kids say I'm addicted, but i only play a little in the morning before everyone else is up and at night for about 45 minutes before I go to bed.

I cant set past 5 Level 8 I get up to 17,000 but Cant hit the 20,000 mark even if I stand at the Podium forever Help PLease!

That happened to me on that level also. Yesterday, I got over 28,000 though. When I first got past that level, the way I did it was this:

I seated 4 groups at time as close together as possible, like down the counter and directly across from it. As soon as you take the 4 group's orders, put them in, and if possible (if the seated have a decent amount of hearts), go to the podium until you fill the heart there.

Then, serve the food and immediately click the table to give the check...sometimes it looks like they'll still be eating, but they finish so quickly, that by the time Flo gets there, they're done.

As soon as you click the last table to give the check, click it again to clean it, then click the other 3 and dump em.

Go back to the podium, and unless anyone has under three hearts, you should be able to wait until you get a full heart and then seat 4 more groups. I try to seat the business women first and then the college kids, as they're more impatient.

Continue on this way and you'll get a rhythm going. seat four, take orders, podium, serve food, immediately give checks for all four and back track to clean up. Go to the podium and try to look for the best color bonuses while you're there so you can plan.

This took me a few tries and I did have to try to remain calm to get the best seating bonuses. If you lose even one table, you probably won't get there. Keep your eye on the business women and the college kids. If they are really angry, drop them in a seat, pick up their order and get them a drink. This will mess up your order chain, but it's better than losing them.

Hope this helps. I'm still trying to get expert...it's driving me insane. I started seating 6 tables at time, then 7 to get longer chains...still not enough. I tried seating four more after the initial four were done eating and I didn't clean up the tables until I had all 8 to chain. Unfortunately, by that time, I had people leaving the line.

Oh well, I'll just keep trying!

Good Luck!

I finally got expert on level 5-8. I really was starting to think it was impossible. The way I did it was to consistently seat at least 6 groups along the counter and across and using one of the 6 tops when absolutely necessary. I made sure I went back to the podium EVERY time after putting the orders in, and I let them smoke their little heads off at the table until I had a full heart at the podium. When it was smaller groups, I sat 7 or even 8 groups and while at the podium, I tried to plan my color bonus strategy.

At the end, I had about 8 small groups in line with full hearts, so I sat all of them calmly in the best color choices. Half way through cleaning up the tables, I made expert, so it was just barely.

SO...now what to do...I need another game like Diner Dash!

P.S. I am not a gamer...usually don't play at all. I only learned about Dash while I was playing bumper on slingo...rare for me.
