Version 2.0
This post is a spoiler because it names all the restaurants.
Jen, Cruzer, tinlizzie, smukat and others do great walkthroughs for many of the levels, but they can be hard to find.
.
For convenience sake, here are the direct links:
HOMETOWN RESTAURANTS (come with the main game):
Zoo Level 10 (Jen)
.
Baseball Level 8 (tinlizzie)
Baseball Level 10 (Jen)
.
*Museum Level 2 (tinlizzie)
Museum Level 3 (Jen)
Museum Level 4 (Cruzer)
*Museum Level 5 (tinlizzie) plus a slowpoke variation from me
.
(Some people call the Beach Shack "the Carnival" because it has a rollercoaster and ferris wheel)
Beach Shack Level 3 (tinlizzie)
Beach Shack Level 7 (Jen)
Beach Shack Level 8 (Jen)
Beach Shack Level 10 (Cruzer)
.

.
Levels where you compete against a waitress
Some levels have a contest between Flo and another waitress. There's no single best walkthrough for these, but here are tips from many different members on beating the waitresses.
Also, more waitress tips from Jen
.
EXPERT LEVELS (These are unlocked if you make Expert on all the regular levels)
*Museum Tourist Invasion (Expert level) (tinlizzie)
Flo's Inferno (Expert Level) (Jen)
.
ADD ON (OPTIONAL) RESTAURANTS (You have to buy these separately):
Coral Cove Water Park Level 2 (Jen)
.
*Hometown Harvest Level 3 {smukat) with alternative slowpoke variation from me
.
* new in this version
.
Extra help for slowpokes
I've also added a topic for slowpoke tips. As I've mentioned, I'm much, much slower than Jen at all these games, so sometimes my strategy is a little different, although if they are different hers always score more points.
.
Anyway, in addition to specific walkthroughs, the slowpoke tips may be of interest to some people, especially if you have a problem losing customers.

Thank you for posting these links. It's helpful to all of us who are trying to find better techniques.

Baseball Level 6, slowpoke variation by me

Candy, this is the newest version of the walkthrough links as of November 16, 2007. :)

Does anyone have a higher scoring walkthrough for Baseball Level 6? Mine will work to Expert, but just barely. I'm sure some of you speedy folks can do better!

sad to say, I also need disco level 2!

bump

I've done a walkthrough which will score about 18,500 depending on snack requests and spills and doesn't use more than 5 tables at a time.
.
Go to the podium first till the hearts release, then mop up starting from the ground end and working towards the podium, clear the dishes, put out flowers and go back to the podium.
.
First round, 6 girls at big table, green and blue girls at table which has 2 blue chairs, family to the left of the big table and 2 green girls next to the family.
.
Next round, 4 teen boys at table for 6, brown teen girls behind them, blue and green girls to the left. Green father and son on green table for 2 and blue, green and brown grown up girls on the table for 4.
.
Third round, 6 girls on big table, blue and green girls to the left and blue girl with brown boy on other table for 4.
.
Last round, 6 teen boys on big table, green teen boys on green table, teen girls on brown table in between them. Father and son on blue chairs on 4 table at the back and girl with small boys on the other 4.
.
Let me know if it doesn't work for you and I'll make some changes.

Sorry, had to retype this as I lost it and second time round forgot to say this is Baseball 6!
