I played this level several times and had way more points (but not 7500 required for expert) than the other waitress and I still lose. When I read the goal it is confusing. It states to have her earn more than FLo?????????? Then it says to get expert get 7500 more points than the other waitress.
Just purchased the game today so I'm behind many of you but would really like to move forward in the game. Any help would be most appreciated!!! :-)

I had no responses to this but never mind; I got past it!! :-)

Did you notice how many points you have to get? I'm having the same problem on a different level.

I don't remember the total points but I don't think it was 7500 more than her. This must be a glitch in the game. The first goal doesn't make any sense and we shouldn't have to get expert to pass the level. Sorry I couldn't be more help to u.

Pinky, on the levels where you play against the waitresses, try and seat the customers yourself, before she can. Also, hand out the snacks as much as you can, that's a 100 points right there. Don't worry about chaining that much, the real thing here, is speed, and try and beat her when cashing out tables. Sometimes, if I'm going for more points, I'll give out desserts, only only when you know you'll be right there to get all the tips before she can. Also, I read where you posted, she'll get in front of you, if you click again, you'll still get the tips. You can still try and do color matching, and you shoudn't have any problems. I don't like these levels either and know hoe frustrating it can be,( they're my least favorite), but once you get the hang of it, you'll be fine. Good luck!

Hope I'm not stepping on toes doing this, but I am pasting Jen's post about waitresses in this thread for future persons inquiring about the waitress competitions. It was under the thread 'General Help'. I myself tried to see if I could add anything to it but, as usual, Jen has nailed it pretty good!

I really can't do walkthroughs for the levels when you battle the waitress. I can give some tips though.
First of all, I don't know if there really is any diference with the 3 waitresses you can chose from, but I have had better luck with some than others, so I say yes, try the different waitresses. You are not going for chains on these levels like you normally would, of course chain if the situation presents itself, but don't waist time looking for it. You just need to get to things before the other waitress and keep her from earning points. Don't ever waist time giving drinks, let the other girl do that, it earns no points and will keep her busy. When the game starts I put flowers on 1 or 2 tables and I make sure I get the first 1 or 2 groups to come in so I get the points. You can put flowers on all tables if you think you can seat most of the customers before her, but odds are she will get a group or 2 and you'll be giving her some points. Try to make color matches when ever you can, if you have a table with high value chairs, keep an eye on it! You don't want her to seat someone there and get the points, or even worse she could seat the wrong color people and change the color of the chairs and wipe out their value. You want to make sure you always give the checks so you get the tip money. To make sure I always give the check I will skip deserts You don't have to give deserts, even though they are asking for it, you can just click the table and it will give the check instead. Most times the other waitress will go get the desert, and when she does, you run over and give the check. You can quickly click twice to grab the dishes as well but sometimes you may want to leave the dishes there for a bit. If all your tables are full leaving the dishes means the other girl can't seat anyone there. When someone comes in, click to clear the table and then grab the new customers and seat them, of course sometimes the other girl may try to clear the table. If you see the other girl chaining, try to break her chain, for example lets say she goes to give snacks to someone and 3 other tables ask for snacks at the same time, she will keep giving out the snacks and make herself a nice chain. But if you run over and give snacks to some of those tables, she can't complete the chain.
Thats all I can think of for now, if I remember anything else, i'll add it in.
