I just want to share and say I'm so excited. I was sooo frustrated with the waitress in Coral Cove, but the best cheat is from Unitys Serenity. Pick up as many color matches as possible before the opposing waitress does. Let her do all the rest, snacks, picking up orders etc. Double click on tables so she can't earn points from picking up the checks & cleaning the table. Then when the table is clear grab the next customer and color seat them. Higher points and she does all the running around. Serve snacks very occasionally. Be sure she's not behind you, she's quick, but very beatable!!
I finally beat her tonight. I'm ready for the next one!!

Actually, babs, by your method, you are cheating yourself of points by double clicking on the tables...you are breaking the chain. I do unity's method a lot too....grab all the customers you can seat in the first round, then grab all the food, then as soon as the first table is ready for check, cash them out and thats it, dont double click....then you stand there and you ONLY pick up checks after that, no clearing tables, no serving, no nothing else....you can still seat and color match cuz that doesnt break the chain or anything, so seat, pick up checks...even if the other waitress is getting behind. let the other waitress grab the Dash, that will hopefully help her catch up....just dont break the chain of picking up checks until the last table, then you can double click and get some points for clearing the table too....Sometimes when I have insomnia, I go into Multiplayer late at night, and spoke some of the kiddies in there by about 18000 points with this method...lol. It's really helping that PF changed people's profiles to how many times they left a multiplayer game before it's finished to...so now they dont give up as much when you are beating them! LOL

spoke= smoke.
can't type. lord, help me.

Oh boy, did they do that, I'm off to the multiplayer room now....care to join me?????

yeah, Lp, go check out the multiplayer tab under your profile. They did it over a month ago, cant remember when. A really great thing, cuz everyone was leaving if they were losing multiplayer. Now you can check it out before you play someone.

I really hate those levels!! But I do like th at they tried something different for this version of diner dash. i've found that if you stick to seating people and cashing them out first and foremost that you can beat the waitress most times. Every now and again I'll serve and pass snacks if the watress is just standing around. But dont let her cash them out or seat them if you can help it!

I really despise the waitress levels. My trick is to seat, grab snacks, and clean up and put away dishes. It usually gets me expert every time.

I never thought to ask, when playing against the waitresses, if you can still manage to put out flowers, does that break your chain? (Maybe Suze knows this?) Thanks.

Yes, placing flowers breaks the chain.

You can only place flowers in the very beginning before you start your chaining of whatever.

When you're in multiplayer and it shows their abandoned games, I think it also considers when people have left games ON you in the middle of them!! That's not really fair!! PF can easily change this by making it an automatic win for YOU if someone leaves....that would REALLY stop them from leaving and doesn't hurt you too when they leave.
