Diner Dash help
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. :mad:
|
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 :D
|
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. :( :o |
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 :o
|
I just noticed that moviefan1899 said they think this game is impossible to beat? I hope not because I am hooked on this game :p
|
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!!
|
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 :(
|
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!!!! :eek: :cool: |
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 :eek: 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 :)
|
I made it past level 7 finally now I am stuck on level 8 with the college kids :eek: 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 :mad: moviefan1899 do you have any suggestions lol :p

I just beat the game Diner Dash...
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! |
Finally Finished
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.
|
:D 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!! :eek: Thanks again... ;) |
With the useful advises here, managed to get thru the 4th rest easily until the last level - level 10. I am now stuck there. Tried many ways but still I lost a lot of tables. Seeing so many people completed make me want to continue trying...
|
Sure you should finish it after spending so much time on it.
I followed erinreid's tips and finally beat it. I just finished it :D . the last level of res 5 is much easier than the 9th level. Just as looseefur said. only server as much as you can handle. do not put in so many ppls, but you aint fast enough to server them. Max for me is 8 tables. when possible, try to server some nack , it will gain more point so you can become an expert. I finished most of the level in res 5 with expert :D |
YES I finally did it. Finished!! Yes you are right kdt - i managed to get thru the final level quite easily - I got almost 65,000.
In the rest 1-4 , i did a small and costly mistake, I should not have collected monies and plates at the same after they finished eating, I lost out in the chain bonus. I found this out in final level of 4th rest, after that, no prob meeting the goals, sometimes exceeded to the expert level. As for the snacks and drinks, I find them sometimes useful. Dont hv to entertain them all the time, but once you see the hearts level for those on the table dropped to more than half, quickly serve them drinks, after/before you serve them the meal. I serve 4-5 tables only at one time even when the queue is long. After you hv collected the orders, go to the podium and/or while they are eating. Go to the podium as often as possible. Lift those who are about to leave to prevent them from leaving while at the podium. This is a simple, yet exciting game. Cheers everyone. :cool: |
I am on res 5 level 9..I think its level 9,its the level where the minute you seat them they want to order right off and eat and are done before you get done serving the others..I am stuck here I can not get past this level and have tried everything..I can make it 19,250 and thats it :confused: how many tables should I serve?? I have tried serving any where from 2-6 tables..Should I go for more?

waitressing Nirvana
YAY! I just finished the Diner Dash last night and boy, it WAS a marathon, just like Flo said! I thought I'd throw in my personal strategies. Sorry, but this is a really over-written post, and I haven't got the brains to edit it down. On the last level of the fifth restaurant, I felt like the two most important things are the podium and the choice of who you seat together. First off, you want to be at the podium ALL the time. Obviously, you can't be there all the time, but that's the attitude you want. To that end, I always tried to seat patrons in groups of four tables, ending up at the lower Left hand corner. For instance, 2 groups on the bar, and 2 groups on the left side tables, making one group of four, and 2 groups along the bottom edge, and 2 on the right side, making a second group of four. (I wasn't able to do it by seating 12 at a time, as I could never get matching groups, so I couldn't sync the groups up.) By seating patrons that way, you can run down an aisle and hit 4 tables quickly and end up back at the podium to spread a little love. (Going to the podium will NOT break a chain!) Also, this way, the 2 groups of four are near one another, which helps for the all important "Check chain". I was able to ALWAYS deliver all checks in one chain. (remember, don't check and pick up dishes, just drop the check!) The precise placement will depend on the sizes of the groups, but always keep an eye on building little "aisles" so you can hit 4 tables at a time QUICKLY! I'm not 100% sure, but i think you at least maintain the love of the people on line by standing at the podium, even if you don't see that heart on the podium. It's critical that your patrons have a LOT of love when you seat them, because they will be waiting a lot, so you can always get four-chains, or six-chains, or 8-chains (or 12-chains, if you're erinreid!) You should go for 2 groups of 4 at all times. Sometimes, though, I had to sacrifice and seat SIX people instead of 8 because I always sat like groups of 4 or 2. In fact, I even did rounds of just ONE group of four because I didn't want to seat dissimilar groups. By seating like groups, you will have an easier time pickup up 4 orders, dropping 4 foods, etc. By syncing the 2 groups, you can easily get 8-chains. BUT remember, you have to KEEP going back to that podium, or you'll lose customers while serving 8 at a time! Watch the seated diners and let them sit around a while, as long as they have a couple of hearts when they get their check, you're ok. After you get them eating, you should usually be able to stand at the podium until you get TWO podium hearts, which should make the waiting customers very happy. Also, be careful what types you have in the diner at once. Businesswomen should take precedence in seating, since they're probably least patient, but only seat them with Young Girls or Hotshots, or you'll wind up with one group too fast and one too slow. Seniors and College Boys eat at a similar rate, (though COllege boys seem to order faster) If you don't keep the standees happy, you'll be tempted to seat impatient business women with impatient college students- DISASTER! From reading around, there are no hard and fast rules, these are just the concepts I used and I won with about a $51,000 score on the final round. And be aware, you don't have to be a perfect machine to win this level, you CAN make a little mistake here and there and still win, so don't get discouraged. If you only seat 4 once in a while, it's fine, if you lose a group or 2, you can still win! And yes, ignore the snacks! I did occasssionally use the drinks when I was messing up and let a table get too unhappy, but it's hardly ever worth the time, and it's NEVER worth breaking a chain over! REMEMBER: Keep your standees happy! Try to keep your diners in like groups! Keep your diners close to each other! Sync your 4-groups to build 8-chains or even 12-chains! Don't rush, let the diners spend their time seated while you... KEEP YOUR STANDEES HAPPY! Thanks everyone who posted, i'd have given up in Restaurant 3 if not for y'all! And thanks to the guys at gamelab and playfirst! Steph |
Colors Colors
Hi again, just realized another important tip on my third time through Diner Dash: an easy way to use the color bonuses, which can be pretty powerful.
If I try to set groups in the most color-matched arrangement, it always takes forever and i wind up losing the timing of the table. Instead, just look for the highest color bonus flag, and look at the standees. If a group you want to seat has a person of the same color, put your hand on that person, and drop him/her right on the chair he/she matches. 90% of the time, that person will land in the right chair, adn get the bonus. You will usually only get one bonus per seating, but if you can do this a few times for each table, you'll up your score substantially. Steph |
:confused: I need help too I can't get past level 4 on 3rd resteraunt folowed all suggestions can get to 7,895 then lose any way to keep the bussiness women from getting their panties in a twist?????
|
I learned that seating only 4 tables at a time helps and stand at the podium until everyone is ready to order then serve them their food then go stand at the podium again and wait until everyone is ready for their checks....I also learned that if you click only once on a table to hand out checks then go back and click again to clean up you get more points too...I was double clicking the tables and couldnt even get points that I needed....Hope this helps..Oh yeah beat the game by the way :p
|
yes I agree with SwollenBelly. this is what happen to me in the first few restaurants, i barely had enough to meet the target goal. Now i tried again licking on the checks and dishes on separate occasion, I managed to be an expert in almost all the stages.

Hi..
I purchased diner dash and put the code in, it was all fine til the last restaurant, I was having problems with level 9 and I was up most of the night, I was too tired to carry on, lol, so I decided to sleep and come back to it, only when I did it told me that my *temporary* key had expired?????? What the hell.. Can anyone help me solve this, or email me a key, please??? I'm seeing angry business women leaving the rest. in my head and they won't go away til I beat the game! Lol. Btw, I have screen shots to prove that I purchased the game and got to level 5! |
I beat it toooooooooo!!!
Yay!!!!! I FINALLY BEAT THE GAME!!! The last level is so cool, lol... I'm afraid that I couldn't wait for stoopid oberon to email me back wif my reg details again, so I found a crack for the game.. it closed itself down a few times tho, which was frustrating.
I got a grand total ooofff... wait for it ;) lol: 593,380... I got the highest score of the ppl on the high score board at the time (Dani) out of curiosity, what were other ppls final scores? On the last level I got 74,995, but it didn't let me pick up the last plate, it did that a few times, why is that? It totally would have been over 75 thou if I could have done! Anywayz, I have a few tips, sorry if I repeat anyone here: 1. Once the ppl in the cue's hearts get below 4, it's hard to keep them up, so seat them quick and serve them drinks to raise their hearts. 2. Inbetween EVERY chain action, go to the podium to keep the ppl in line happy. (I don't know what I ever did without the podium in the earlier levels! Lol)... So, seat as many as you can handle (on the last level I managed to seat EVERY table and chain them all..) but don't do more than you can handle, you will lose tables and liners... So basically: *seat them *go to the podium *take orders *go to the podium *give food *go to the podium, get the idea? ;) you should also be able to chain longer if you do this, bc their hearts will be full enough to allow for it. LEAVE SNACKS unless you NEED the points, or you need to keep hearts up... BUT, having said that, the hearts should be SO full from keeping them happy in line, that you shouldn't need to.. if you can handle it and are looking to expert scores, then give snacks, but don't let snack giving break your chains! They try to catch you out with that. 3. At the start of a level, don't start to seat ppl until there's at least 4 or 5 ppl in the line, just stand at the podium and increase heart-levels. Btw.. some of these tips contradict erins tips, but this is what worked for me, I guess everyone has to find their own way, it just helps to have a few tips.. try both ways, see what suits you! You'll probably find your own way somewhere inbetween ;) Anywayz, I hope that helps and I hope you beat the game too! I do have more, I'll come back later and post them. Now finally the angry business women in my head have stopped leaving in a huff and they're going off with smiles! ;) |
Eek.
Can anyone send me the registration code or a crack for this game?
|
Yes yes yes
Oh yes here i am again stuck now like most. I have gotten the third diner but I keep playing and playing and just can not make it pass the 8th lvl of the 3rd diner.

I would love a hint on how to pass this lvl 8 at the 3rd diner pls pls pls hehe
Jo hehe |
Diner Dash- HELP!
Ok all you Diner Dash experts. I have what probably is a dumb question :eek: , but help me understand chaining. I thought that Flo can only do two of the same things at once; i.e. take two checks to the counter, serve two tables at a time, etc. SO, WHAT EXACTLY IS CHAINING??? I'm stuck on the second restaurant at (I think) level 7 or 8 (the one with all the business women). Thanks! :confused:

Diner Dash
Thanks to SwollenBelly's post -
I learned that seating only 4 tables at a time helps and stand at the podium until everyone is ready to order then serve them their food then go stand at the podium again and wait until everyone is ready for their checks....I also learned that if you click only once on a table to hand out checks then go back and click again to clean up you get more points too...I was double clicking the tables and couldnt even get points that I needed....Hope this helps..Oh yeah beat the game by the way The most important thing is -click only once on a table to hand out checks then go back and click again to clean up you get more points too That one - helped me finish the game in relative ease. You will make A LOT more points doing the above. I would drop off checks to all the tables then go straight to the podium to pump up the heart values of those in line - then I would go back and bus the tables - then go back to podium and wait till the hearts were filled up - then seat the next group of tables. I hope this helps - it made me get past 2nd restaurant levels finally - and even at the the 5th restaurant - I never sat more than 5 tables with the above advice - the 5th restaurant levels allow you to lose at most 2 tables to still make the goals - but any more and you will have to redo the level you are at. :) |
Chaining
I am stuck on the 2nd restaurant level 7-8. Am doing most things people have suggested like seating business women first, standing at podium while they eat, collecting checks all together and then clearing dishes.
Ive heard a LOT about chaining but my question is how do I chain more that 2 things at a time..Flo can only take 2 orders, carry 2 meals and clear 2 lots of dishes at once. How can I get her to do more??? |

Help
After reading some of the tips above, I have managed to get to Res 5, but I am now stuck on level 9 and they are moving so fast. How can I get past this? Pls help me someone!!!!
|
Yay!! I have finally managed to complete the game. For one minute, I thought I would never get passed level 9 on res 5. Thanks to all the hints I have read on here, I managed to beat the last level, and with an expert score.
Everyone is right, chaining is everything. The way I did it was put each category into groups: Group 1 - Business women, hot shots and young girls Group 2 - Seniors and college kids. I would stand at the podium until I got a few people in line, then I tended to prioritise the more impatient, ie Group 1, and seated all of group 1's first. I would stand at the podium until they were all ready to order then take all orders at once, serve all at once and then back to podium until they were all done and wanted checks. Then I checked, cleared tables, then back to podium, before seating next bunch of people. Worked for me...thanks everyone :) |
Finished
Eventually finished all 5 res and now trying the endless mode.

Error in restaurant 2! Help!
I have made it to all 5 restaurants and now I'm going back to try to get the expert star on the ones that I didn't get the first time.
On restaurant 2 level 6, when the level starts it says the goal is 6000, and the expert is 9000, but when you play the level and you pass 6000 - it then tells you to be an expert you need 12000. I have tried everything and I cannot get past 11000. I am using all four tables at the same time so I am getting the chaining bonus x 4 on everything and I'm keeping everyone in line happy and haven't lost any customers. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanx T. :confused: |
Me too
Poohbear, I have also gone back to the start to expert scores on all levels, I have had difficulty with a few. Not at my own PC at the moment but unable to say which ones. Good luck with your mission.
Does anyone know if they intend to release another version, I am 40ish and addicted. Sad really. |
Impossible!
Hey guys, I've been at this game for a few nights and just lastnight I saw this forum and it helped me through 2 restuarants, but now I'm stuck again. I'm on res. 5 and level 8. It seems impossible!
:o Any tips would be greatly appreciated! |
Help
Is that the one where it goes really fast? If so, serve business women, m/kids and female kids first, I only used 4 tables, then the hotshots, then the old men. It worked for me! Good luck.
