Café World is one of the newer examples of social networking games that Zynga has launched on Facebook. Like Mafia Wars, this game is fast becoming a hit among both young and old Facebook members. Players create cafes, prepare recipes and serve their guests. In turn, they are rewarded with coins and skill points which increase their levels and their buzz ratings in hope of creating the best café in the neighborhood.
After setting the Café up in the beginning stage of the game, players should become familiar with the various aspects of the game, particularly how to increase buzz rating to make the Café more popular.
Understanding the Buzz Rating
The Buzz system is a rating system that determines the popularity of the café. Diners who enter the café will either give a ‘thumbs up’ or a ‘thumbs down’ rating when they leave the café. Currently the maximum buzz rating is 105 points.
Customers who give thumbs up increase the buzz rating by 0.1 point, while customers who give thumbs down decrease the buzz rating by 0.1 points. As the buzz rating increases more customers visit the café and in turn increase the amount of experience points and coins that are earned.
Factors that Affect Buzz Ratings
Happy customers are customers that are being fed. If there is not enough food to serve the customers they will not stay in the café and they will leave a negative rating. It is important to keep enough food on the counters to supply the flow of customers. This takes practice and the diligence to check on the game often to prevent foods from spoiling. There are many websites that can supply additional tips which dishes fare best.
Another factor that makes customers leave unhappy and in turn decrease buzz ratings is the arrangement of the café. First, customers must be able to reach the tables and have a clear path back to the doorway or they will leave. Secondly, the servers must be able to reach the table in order to serve the customer otherwise they will not get fed and will leave unhappy.
Buzz ratings go up and down throughout the game. One good thing to remember is that they do not go up or down while the game is not being played, However, should the game be left on and unattended it is possible to lose massive amounts of buzz points due to running out of food.
It is also possible for the buzz rating to reach such a high number, maximum 105 at this writing, that the flow of customers is at such a rapid pace that it is difficult to keep up, it is best to stay somewhere in the middle or play the game often enough to keep them fed.
Facebook Café World is an entertaining social network game that allows would-be chefs to own and operate their own cafeteria while meeting new friends.
