Help Help Can someone give me a walkthrough for Level 1

just try to chain thats what i go on most the levels and sit evry body down at once so you can get the max chain but be carefull this don't allways work and people get angry if there are slow people in your chain

This is an interesting level, because you really see what a difference the bridge makes! I am a slowpoke, and this walkthrough will get me to Expert. It's def. not the highest scoring, so maybe Jen or Cruzer or another one of the quick people will have a walkthrough that scores higher. But it should work.
.
First, though, some important tips for this level.
.
A. The only thing you have to keep people happy is the drinks, so use them at the end of each chain! Tht is, pick up all the orders, then give someone a drink. Pass out all the food, give out a drink.
.
B. Anticipate! This was critical for me. Look to see who's closest to finishing their food, and go stand by them. Remember you can click on the order holder and move to the counter even if food isn't ready yet. You can also click on the drinks pitcher to move over there. So you can move from one side of the bridge to the other that way.
.
C. Pick up drinks whenever you have a free hand and you're on the right side. For example, say you go to the right side and pick up one order. You're only using one hand--go ahead and pick up drinks. Deliver the order to the counter (that keeps your chain), then give the drinks to someone. Picking up drinks or a mop doesn't brek a food delivery or order pick up chain--it's only when you use them that the chain changes. And if someone is expecting something else (like for you to pick up their order or deliver their food) they won't take the drinks on the first click--you keep the drinks in your other hand.
.
D. It's absolutely essential on this level that you have one chain for collecting money and then a separate chain for picking up dirty dishes. So make sure when someone is finished that you only click on them ONCE to pick up the money. Then go to the next person to pick up their money. Thta will leave dirty dishes on the table. After you've picked up all the money, go back and pick up all the dirty dishes.

OK, here's the walkthrough I use.
.
Round 1:
Red/blue girls in the upper left
Other two girls in the upper right
Family, bottom right, Mom in bottom left chair.
Give highchair
Man/boy in bottom left
.
Remember the tips on giving drinks and anticipating!
.
============================
Round 2:
red/blue girls top left
tourists top right
family bottom right, Mom in bottom left chain.
Give highchair
.
If you pick up drinks to give to the tourists and you get to their table and they want their picture taken, take the picture, then give the drinks to someone else.
=====================================
Round 3
You will probably lose one group from the line now, either a family or the girls. That's OK, you can still make Expert. But be ready to seat everyone quickly!
.
Yappers, top left
Girls (or family, whosever left) bottom right, match colors
Man/boy, bottom left
.
That should do it. Good luck!

One more tip...when you can, try to do both actions on the right together.
.
For example, say you're standing at the counter, waiting for food. The food has arrived for the party at the top right and the top left. As long as everyone is pretty happy, it's usually better to wait a beat until the food for the party at the bottom right has also arrived. (You can tell by the numbers on the food, which match the table numbers.)
.
Now pick up the food for the top right and bottom right. Deliver those, pick up drinks. Go back to the counter.
.
Pick up food for the party on the top left. Give it. (Still holding drinks in the other hand.) Pick up food for the party on the bottom left. Give it. Now give drinks to either the party on the top left or bottom left, whosever most unhappy.
.
By now you may even have more drinks available at the drink station, and you can run over there, pick them up, and give them to someone on the right before they finish eating.
.
But in any case, try to pick up orders from everyone on the right on one trip and deliver orders to everyone on the right on one trip. If there's only one party on the right, you can use the free hand for drinks.
.
What you want to avoid is a zig zag where you're delivering to top right, top left, bottom right, bottom left, because that will take twice as much time. This is where the bridge makes a big difference.
.
Good luck!
