[jillywilly4587]

ur on the 3rd res. already? gosh i need help getting to the 3rd one. im on the last thing...and i have tried everything to serve everyone but i fail...any hints ...anything??? help help

[Stormychick]

I haven't found anything for hints for this game but I have figured out that if you seat everyone at the same time put old men first they take longer to order their food and then the business people second and then the regular people they are a bit faster. Get their orders at the same time or there abouts and feed them by the time they are all eating you can stand at the podium and make everyone happy till you get the next bunch of people seated. It will help your chain score also because your doing so many actions at once.Im still going at getting my 3rd restaraunt im on the last level of that now just trying to pick up the pace some I am loosing at least one customer in line.

I am on the 2nd resturaunt level 10 which is the last level and I cant seem to get past 7,000 points even if I dont lose any customers...Any suggestions? I tried what Stormychick suggested and it has helped but I cant seem to reach 10,000 help is greatly appreciated

Hey guys... I am at the fifth restaurant on level 7, and it seems to be impossible from this point on... I don't think there's any way to actually beat the game... there's absolutely no way to move fast enough.

Anyways, Stormychick gave some good tips... you always need to try for chain scores... timing is everything. Also, instead of using every table available to you, try and keep it to a minimum of 1 table per each size (meaning, use only one six person table, one two person, one four person...), and just stand by the podium to make the customers in line happy. This will make the colors on the chairs multiply, so when you successfully coordinate each persons color at the table, you will get points out of the wazoo... sometimes you have to use every table, though, because it gets too busy, but just try this.

Make sure you always monitor the little hearts for each table, and fill up drinks whenever possible. If you have the opportunity to stand at the podium and you see a group with only one heart, and they're real mad and about to storm out of there, just pick them up and hold them in the air until the heart in the podium is about to fill completely, and drop them on the floor immediately before the heart fills. Or if a table you need is just about to leave, and the group in line only has one heart, just hold the group in line in the air, until the table is done, and then drop them, clear the dishes, and drag them to the table. This is very important, and it sounds trickier than it is, but it's a huge help.

I'm sure I have more tips if someone asks me something specific, but really, I do believe it's impossible to beat the game.

I finally made it to the 3rd res. and I am on level 4 which is getting harder and harder with each passing level...How I finally managed to get past level 10 on the 2nd res. was I sat 4 tables at once and then stood at the podium while the 4 tables ate this made it so much easier on me and I didnt lose any people standing in line but wow the 3rd place level 4 is a challenge...thanks for the tips moviefan1899

I just noticed that moviefan1899 said they think this game is impossible to beat? I hope not because I am hooked on this game

I am stuck at the 2nd rest level 8.. with all the business women..... help!!! i tried to follow the advises here but cant!!! help!!

[SwollenBelly]

I need help once again lol! I am stuck on res.3 level 5 how in the world do you serve enough crab sticks to win the level? I am not losing any customers and I am keeping everyone happy and all hearts filled and yet I cant get up to 8,000 points

[moviefan1899]

Hi SwollenBelly, the 8,000 points sounds familiar, so I think this was the level that I figured out you have to use the least amount of tables possible. If you're doing that, and all hearts are filled, and you still can't get 8,000 points, then I don't know what else to tell you. You say you're having problems with the crab sticks? Are customers asking for them, and you're just not able to get them out in time? If this is the case, you might have to sacrifice some customers hearts, just to spend a bit more timing serving up crab sticks... because that's worth far more points than just a heart or two.

I'm still working on that impossible level I mentioned before, and the closest I've gotten was about 4,000 points away from the goal.... ouch!!!!

[SwollenBelly]

Thanks moviefan1899 I actually did try serving just 4 tables at a time starting with only the old men then the young girls and I was 10 points away from 8,000 The Crab stick issue is that they arent really asking for them but I am getting the hang of this level just want to get to the next level lol! thanks again! Good Luck with the level you are trying to beat

[SwollenBelly]

I made it past level 7 finally now I am stuck on level 8 with the college kids You have to have 9,000 points to win this level and I have tried and tried and I am stuck as usual....I did make it to 8,995 points moviefan1899 do you have any suggestions lol

OK, I did just beat the game, "Diner Dash"! The whole process took about four hours. Here's the crucial things that I learned from beating the game:

* Chaining is EVERYTHING. Everything relies on you getting the longest chains possible. Chain the orders, chain the food serving, chain the checks, and chain the dirty dishes. By the last few levels of the fifth restaurant, you should be seating and serving *twelve* tables at a time, and doing everything to all twelve tables at once. I know that's hard to imagine, but it's how to win; the last level has a requirement of $45,000, and I made over $60,000. Don't ever break a chain, and make every chain the maxiumum that your restaurant can hold.

* Ignore snacks. Forget snacks. Don't serve a snack, ever. Trust me.

* Ignore drinks. Forget drinks. Don't serve a drink, ever. Yes, trust me.

* Don't seat anyone until you're ready to seat the maximum number of tables you can hold. Stand at the podium and keep increasing everyone's love.

* While everyone is eating, stand at the podium to increase the love of the people in line. Don't leave the podium to give the checks until *everyone* is done eating and has stopped asking for checks. If they're full of love when they sit down (which they will be, because you've stood at the podium) they'll easily withstand you ignoring the snack requests and ignoring the people who are done early.

* While you only see eight parties in line, there are additional parties that come in out of sight. These parties don't have their love decrease by standing in line. That's why, when seating the initial set of 12 tables on the final level, you should wait until you hear the "Welcome!" sound effect 12 times and know there are that many people out there. Trust me.

Anyway, that was my strategy. Good luck!

I finally finished the game today (got the screenshots to prove it). I did it by following Erinreids post above. One thing I found out, on the last stage of res 5, just sit 4 or 5 tables at a time, not the entire res, this makes it much easier, and spend the rest of your time at the podium. And don't mess with snacks at all.

[moviefan1899]

I just beat it! Thank you so much erinreid, the game was like 50X easier with your advice.

I better stop playing for good, though... it's probably not a good sign when you start imagining the game in your sleep... and at random moments have flash images in your head of those angry business women getting ready to leave!!

Thanks again...
