How To Get the Best Cafe World Buzz Rating

Buzz rating is very important to your success in Cafe World. Your Cafe World buzz rating is what determines how many customers enter your cafe, and the more customers that visit, the more coins you can make to advance in the game. The buzz rating is posted in the top right corner of the game with a green thumb next to it. The highest buzz rating you can get is 105.

Your buzz rating is affected by your customers’ experience in your cafe. There are two main factors that make up this experience:

* How long it takes a customer to find a seat
* How long it takes a customer to get served with food

If a customer cannot sit down at all, or it takes too long for a waiter to bring over food, that customer will leave and give you a negative buzz rating. A negative buzz rating will remove 1 point, while a positive one will only add .1 to your score. So it’s extremely important that you keep your customers happy by providing seats and meals all the time, as it will take you much longer to build back your buzz rating than it will to bring it down.

Keeping a high buzz rating can be very easy if you keep the following in mind.

First, make sure you have enough tables and chairs for everyone to sit. Only one person can sit at a table, so there’s no point in putting more than one chair at a table, unless you’re interested in that for aesthetic reasons. Also, you’ll want to leave a clear pathway to all the chairs and tables. If something is blocking the path, your customers won’t be able to sit on the chair, and your waiters won’t be able to serve the table. Be careful though about adding too many seats before you have enough servers. You can test this out by watching your rating closely. If you’ve done everything correctly and it’s still going down, try removing some chairs to see if that helps.

Second, always make sure you have food to serve. If there is no food in your cafe, your buzz rating will definitely go down. There are a couple of things you can do to prevent this. By planning out a cooking schedule, you can make sure there are always items to be served on your counter and dishes cooking on your stove. Look at the cooking time for each dish and plan accordingly. Keep in mind that you can prepare several of the same dish and it will only take up one counter. You’ll also want to account for your overnight and away hours and plan to have longer dishes cooking; you won’t want to start a shorter dish and be away from your computer for long periods of time, which will then spoil and not be served. Dirty stoves also bring your buzz rating down, so make sure to clean your stoves right away!

Third, hire more waiters. As you level up in the game, it’s possible to add more waiters to your cafe. You’ll want to do so as it costs no money and allows you to serve more customers in a timely fashion. Even if you have lots of seating and food to serve, not having enough waiters to serve the meals will negatively affect your buzz rating when customers have to wait too long for their orders.

Here are a few tricks that can help you maximize your buzz rating:

* Block your waiters behind counters. You can do this by leaving an open space behind a counter and blocking it on either side with a wall, stove, table or other furniture. Make sure, though, that there is at least one empty space behind each counter. If you block a counter in completely, your waiters won’t be able to get to it and your food on that counter will go unserved. Once you block your waiters in, they will immediately serve your customers and clean up without having to walk all the way to the table. This reduces serving time by a lot!

* Customize your cafe with lots of doors. The basic door is free in Cafe World, so you can add as many as you want to your cafe. By providing lots of places for your customers to get in and out of your cafe, it’s easier for them to move to different parts of your cafe to find a seat quickly, and more visitors can make their way through your cafe so you can achieve a good buzz rating faster.

* Remove your doors when you’re out of food. If you’re going to be away from your computer for awhile, or you’re waiting for meals to finish and don’t have anything to serve in the meantime, you can remove all of the doors from your cafe by dragging them back down to your customize toolbox. When you have no doors in your cafe, no customers can visit and thus not negatively affect your buzz rating. When you’re back at your computer, or ready to serve more dishes, just add the doors back on and allow the customers to come in. Update: If you’re logged out of the game, your buzz rating shouldn’t be affected negatively if there’s no food to serve.

If you keep a close eye on your cafe and follow all of these instructions, you can be well on your way to maintaining a 105 buzz rating all the time. Happy cooking, chefs!
