Your word of mouth rating should be one of the most important aspects of your Cafe World strategy. The higher your cafe’s buzz rating, the more customers will stop and eat. In order to help you make the most of your time and effort, we’ve listed a few tips to help get you started on your path to maximizing word of mouth for your cafe and help you develop your own Cafe World strategy.
When you first start out in Cafe World, you’ll want to increase your popularity rating and experience (cp) as fast as you can. At this point in the game, you’ll want to make as many bacon cheeseburgers and chunky fruit salads as you can.
The bacon cheeseburgers will only take you five minutes to cook, and you’ll get a total of 7 cp for each 13-serving batch you serve. For every satisfied customer, you will earn 0.1 on your buzz rating. This stays the same for any of the dishes you serve. Each satisfied customer will give you a 0.1 buzz rating. If your customer has to wait or sits at a dirty table, you’ll get a negative rating of around -1.0.
Super Chunk Fruit Salads take 15 minutes to cook, but will give you a total of 14 cp per batch. If you’re having trouble keeping stock of bacon cheeseburgers, then you should start making some of these salads. Instead of the 13 servings per batch with the burgers, the salad will give you 100 servings per batch, so they will last longer than the cheeseburgers, even though they take longer to cook.
Your buzz rating is not affected when you sign out and go offline, even if you run out of food while you’re away. When you log back in and see you’re out of food, the best thing to do is “close your cafeteria.” This will prevent customers from walking in and giving you a poor word-of-mouth rating for having to wait too long. How do you “close your cafe” you ask?
To “close your cafe”, you must remove the door(s). To remove the door, simply click the chair-shaped Customize icon in the game menu. Then click on your door and drag it into your inventory (towards the bottom of the screen where the chair icon is) and release it and it will be added to your inventory. Note: You will not sell your door unless you drag it over the cash register in the bottom right of the screen. It will only add it to your inventory where you can access it again for future use.
To reopen your coffee shop, you’ll need to put the door back in its original place so customers can re-enter. To do this, simply click on the chair-shaped customization icon again and then click on the door-shaped icon. Click on the free door and drag it up to where you want it to be on the wall.
It took me several levels before I figured out these tips for keeping my buzz rating high. With these tips, you should have very little trouble keeping your maximum word of mouth rating at 105 and keeping paying customers.
