Cant get expert on this one plez someone help. thax

msweeney,
I think I can help you with this level but it's going to be a long post. I post at another site as well and I've already done this level for someone else. They had some trouble with it and we posted back and forth a few times so there are three replies I made with help. I will post all three of them for you and if you still have trouble just let me know where and with who. Good luck.

You'll want to use the same routine as always, seat your customers, give drinks, take orders, pass out food, give drinks, give checks, clear dirty dishes, and seat the next round. Level 31. I hate this level and try as I might, I could only find one way to do it and not loose any customers, and its not easy. Continued...

Continued: As soon as the game starts you get 4 girls, seat them and shortly after 2 yappers arrive, seat them as well and that will be your first round. For the second round seat 6 bookworms, 2 lovebirds, 2 tourists, and 2 women with babies who will arrive shortly. For the third round you have 4 bookworms, 2 tourists, 2 girls, and 2 yappers. For the fourth round you have 6 yappers and a family. Your at risk of loosing the yappers and will have to seat them asap and get them drinks. For the fifth round you have 2 lovebirds, 3 old men, 6 girls, and 2 yappers. For the last round you have 2 girls and 2 bookworms. The girls will be upset so get them seated asap and get them drinks. You should be able to do it and not loose anyone, but I have got an expert score and lost a group so it is possible. Good luck! Continued...

Continued: I think I can still help you. First of all keep in mind that the more you keep trying, the easier it will get, you'll know exactly who's comming and when. You must seat and serve the slower customers first, it will help them keep pace with the faster people and make chaining easier, just seat and serve in the order I list them. And I'm sure you know it's the usuall routine for each round, seat customers, give drinks, take all the orders, give drinks and pass out food or pass out food and give drinks, give all the checks, collect all the dirty dishes and seat the next round. One thing you could try is in round three I have listed 4 bookworms, 2 tourists, 2 girls, and 2 yappers. Skip the 4 bookworms, seat the 2 tourists, 2 girls, 2 yappers, wait a few seconds for the group of 6 yappers to arrive and seat them instead of the 4 bookworms. Continued....

Continued: Then on round 4 instead of the 6 yappers and a family, you will seat 4 bookworms and a family. Then on round 5 you have 2 lovebirds, 3 old men, 6 girls, and 2 yappers. You will have 2 bookworms and 2 girls left in line and they will be getting upset. As soon as the 2 yappers finish give them the check and clear the dishes asap, get the girls seated and give them drinks. Then do the same with the 6 girls as soon as they finish, give the check, clear the dishes and get the bookworms seated. When the lovebirds and old men finish give them the checks and then wait and clear the dishes from all 4 tables when the 2 bookworms and 2 girls finish. See if that helps any and let me know how you make out. Good luck! Continued....

Continued: Well I came up with another way to do level 31. I don't know if it will make it any easier, but will get an expert score if you can do it. When the game starts go wait over by the drinks, you get 4 girls, 2 yappers and 2 tourists. seat the 2 tourists the second they arrive, then seat the 4 girls and give them drinks, then seat the yappers. Its important to seat and serve the slower people first, just use the order i list them in. Hopefully you can take a picture and boost the hearts of the tourists and then take all the orders, remember tourists, girls, then yappers. After you take the orders give the tourists drinks, pass out the food and give the yappers drinks. As soon as the yappers finish eating, seat the 6 bookworms in line. Continued...

Continued: Give the all the checks and clear the dirty dishes, your 6 bookworms are already seated, now seat the 2 lovebirds, 2 women with babies and 2 girls. Get the girls drinks and take all the orders starting with bookworms and lovebirds. Get one table drinks, whoever has the least hearts, then pass out the food. Mop any spill and then give the checks and collect dirty dishes. Next you seat 4 bookworms and get them drinks, seat 2 tourists, 2 yappers and wait a few seconds for the 6 yappers to arrive and you can seat them to. Try to give the bookworms drinks a second time before you take all the orders. After you give them drinks the first time go stand at the drink station to wait for them to be ready. Take all the orders, give drinks again and you'll probably have to give them to 2 yappers, then pass out the food. Give drinks again to either bookworms or tourists, whoever needs them more and then give the checks and collect dirty dishes. Continued....

Continued: Next seat 6 girls, a family and 2 yappers. Get the family drinks and take all the orders, give drinks to the girls and pass out food. Give drinks to the yappers and mop any spill. give the checks and clear dirty dishes. Then for the last round you can seat 3 old men, 2 bookworms, 2 lovebirds, and 2 girls. Do the same routine as the last round and give the drinks where they are most needed. If you can make it through to the end of round three you should be able to make it. Round three will be the sticking point with the 4 bookworms, 2 tourists, 2 yappers and 6 yappers. Remember when its time to give checks you don't have to do the slow people first, just give the checks when they are ready for them. That will get the yappers out of there so they don't keep annoying your bookworms while they finish eating. Good luck!

i need help with level 31. i just cant do it you only have 4 seat's and cant keep the people happy

You have to keep trying, it will get easier the more you do it. If you find you need to break a chain to clear a table and get someone seated quicky, try it, you never know, sometimes you can get lucky and it will still work. Remember to seat and serve the slower people first for each round when you can. I will keep trying to see if I can come up with anything else that will help you. Good luck.

Jen

OH Thank thank thank you! That last really detailed explanation got me through. You're awesome!

Jen:

So frustrated! This level is impossible. No matter where I sit the customers someone end's up leaving. I've tried so many configurations. No podim to make them happy makes this level impossible to beat. I have your instructions and still can't make it work. Any suggestions?

Laura

Bubblegum,
Thanks, and your welcome. I'm glad you got through it ok. Good luck with the rest!!

Laura,
This level is a tough one, but I'm sure you'll get it soon enough. How close are you to expert score? Who is giving you problems, like which customers from which rounds? Tell me anything else that you think is a problem. I'm asking because it helps me know where to make changes for you. Also, if you've been at it for awhile, you may need a break from it and try again later. Sometimes a clear mind is all it takes. Talk to you soon.

Jen:

It always goes south when those nasty yappers - the group of six are waiting in line. They start with low hearts and I can't seem to seat them in time. Also if I try to seat them earlier they frustrate the bookworms who leave. I can't seem to win what ever I do. Thanks for what advice you can give me.

Laura

Laura,
I have an idea for your problem with the 6 yappers. One thing you could try is in round three I have listed 4 bookworms, 2 tourists, 2 girls, and 2 yappers. Skip the 4 bookworms, seat the 2 tourists, 2 girls, 2 yappers, wait a few seconds for the group of 6 yappers to arrive and seat them instead of the 4 bookworms. Then on round 4 instead of the 6 yappers and a family, you will seat 4 bookworms and a family. Then on round 5 you have 2 lovebirds, 3 old men, 6 girls, and 2 yappers. You will have 2 bookworms and 2 girls left in line and they will be getting upset. As soon as the 2 yappers finish give them the check and clear the dishes asap, get the girls seated and give them drinks. Then do the same with the 6 girls as soon as they finish, give the check, clear the dishes and get the bookworms seated. When the lovebirds and old men finish give them the checks and then wait and clear the dishes from all 4 tables when the 2 bookworms and 2 girls finish.

See if that helps you. If not, here is a second method I have for level 31, maybe this one will be better for you, I don't know if it will make it any easier, but will get an expert score if you can do it. When the game starts go wait over by the drinks, you get 4 girls, 2 yappers and 2 tourists. seat the 2 tourists the second they arrive, then seat the 4 girls and give them drinks, then seat the yappers. Its important to seat and serve the slower people first, just use the order i list them in.

Laura,
I was just checking my notes and found I have a third method for this level if you find you still need help.
