I know I've read it somewhere on how to get an expert score on this level...I just can't find it. Can anyone help w/ any advice on how to get an expert score on this level? It's the one w/ all the business women. I've tried seating all 5 tables, and doing color matching along w/ podium use as well, but no luck. I've gotten really close, but nothing.

any help would be appreciated. THANKS!!!

OK, first of all seating 5 tables of business women at one time is a no no. They are sooo needy it's impossible to satisfy 5 tables of them at once. And to reach expert score on this level you want them to leave with the maximum amount of hearts. So this is what I did:

Don't seat the first two immediately. Wait for a round of drinks to become available. Pick up the drinks and go immediately to the podium. Do the talking and get them all happied (not sure if that's a word lol) up. By this time it should be 3 or 4 groups waiting to be seated. Seat the first 3 groups of businesswomen, which should be 2 groups of 2 and 1 group of 6.

Give whoever has the least amount of hearts the drinks you originally picked up and then take all of the orders at once for a chaining bonus. Then pick up another round of drinks and give it to the table with the least amount of hearts (probably the group of 6). Then serve each table their food and go straight to the podium. After you're finished one round at the podium seat 2 groups at the 4 seater tables (But only seat the groups of 3 or 4, let the others wait). Clear the checks for the first three tables, serve a round of drinks to one of the two tables and take the orders. Serve the food to the other two tables and go back to the podium.

After you finish another round at the podium they should be finished eating (if not try and serve another round of drinks to the table with the least amount of hearts). After they've finished eating clear the checks and then go back to the podium. Then for a nice big chaining bonus clear all of the tables at once. Then do it all over again.

Make sure you're paying close attention to the groups waiting in line because there will be a couple of groups all the way in the back that will lose their patience faster than the groups further in front. You may have to seat them ahead of some of the other groups in the front.

Try doing it this way and see if this will get you the expert score. Hope this helps. I've gotten expert on all levels except for levels 2-10, 4-4, 4-9, and 5-9. You just have to keep trying the levels and you'll get the expert score eventually.

thanks...now I'm on 2-9...hope I get expert there too.

Your welcome. Glad I could help. I know how frustrating it is to try and get through some of the levels. When I first started playing the game I was stuck on level 2-10 for like 3 or 4 months. Eventually I got so frustrated with it that I gave up and took a 2 month break. Went back and got it the second time I played. LOL

Now I can't seem to get the expert on 2-10. I'm going to keep trying though until my DD2 game comes in, I bought for $5 on ebay and can't wait for it to get here.

Let me know if you need help with any of the other levels.

Did you ever get expert on level 2-9? I'm having trouble w/ that one now. LOL. No matter how much I use the podium, color match, use like 3-4 tables, etc...nothing....come close tho.

I couldn't get 2-9 for the longest time either. I just kept at it though and I got it eventually. Just keep doing what you are doing: hug that podium, color match as much as possible, chain as much as possible, make sure to have every table leave with the maximum amount of hearts, and definitely clear all tables at the same time for the biggest bonuses.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

thanx so much!!!
