Customer Types
Level 43 features a mixture of fast and slow customer types that will throw you off, if not seated correctly. You'll be dealing with the slow-paced Bookworm and Senior. Both of these customers take a very long time to order and eat. They are patient with you, but do not leave a big tip. Your other customer types include the Business Women and the Cellphone Addicts. Both of these types order and eat fast. If you do not serve them immediately, they lose their patience. Cellphone addicts talk on the phone constantly, annoying customers around them.
Table Setup
You receive six tables in level 43. The top-left table is already colored yellow, so if you see customers in yellow outfits, seat them there. The table holds a group of six. The table below it, as well as the table to the right, also seats six people. The top-center table and the top-right table seat four people. The table in the bottom-right corner is reserved for a party of two. When seating people, do not seat a small party at a big table. This usually leads to you failing the level, as big parties leave because they have nowhere to sit.
The Podium, Appetizers and Drinks
Stand at the podium in the bottom-left corner of the restaurant whenever customers in line get angry. Flo chats with waiting customers, and, for every few seconds she stands there, their patience refills. Plan where you want to put each customer as you stand at the podium. You also have the ability to serve appetizers and drinks. Customers randomly ask for onion rings. If you serve multiple orders of onion rings in a row, you get a large point bonus. Serving drinks does not earn you points, and customers never ask for them. Drinks raise a customer's patience a bit, though.
Basic Strategy
You have access to a robot helper, so you can hold up to four items at once, unlike earlier levels. When customers appear, seat the impatient Business Women and Cellphone Addicts first. Do not put the Cellphone Addicts next to anyone, though, since their talking causes other customers to lose patience. Serve the slow customers last, since it is easy to get their patience back to normal. Always match customer colors to table colors. Doing this repeatedly gives you a bonus point chain. A flag with your current chain appears on the table. For instance, if the flag says "x3," each customer that sits there is worth three times more than usual.
