Keep Customers happy by
serving them as fast as you can.
The happier they are when
they leave, the more points you'll earn
If Customers wait too long,
they get upset and leave
Do not sit noisy customers
near quiet customers
The more times you match a
Customer's color to the seat, the higher the bonus!
As the
levels increase, you'll unlock more ways to keep customers happy:
Drinks: Serve
customers a drink while they're eating or ordering
Dessert: Happier
customers are more likely to order dessert
Highchairs: Keeps
the baby from crying
Snacks: Bring tables
a snack if they request one
Mop: Sometimes a
family might spill
Podium: Stand at the
podium and chat with customers to keep them ahppy
Bench: Seat
customers at the bench - its helps them stay patient
Phone: Call in some
help!
Advanced
tactics:
Abuse the Podium:
Stand at the podium to keep the customers' patience up until the diner
closes. THEN start to seat the customers.
Wait for it... In
later levels of the game, let customers line up so that you can seat
them more strategically. Seat customers that are going to take the
longest first and the impatient customers last -- that way everyone will
be ready to order at the same time.
Birds of a Feather:
Remember to seat similar types of characters by each other. Cellphone
Addicts and Families go together well. In fact if you do that, you don't
even have to bring a highchair for the family. Young Ladies and Business
Women do well together, and you should keep them away from Cellphone
Addicts and Families.
Work the Crowd:
While the chef is cooking, make sure you are serving drinks and talking
to people at the podium.
Combos: Maximize
your time by doing strategic combos (ie: give checks to every customer
that has finished eating before you start picking up plates).
Colors Count!: Even
if you have free tables, but the chairs are of the wrong color, do not
seat new customers - wait until a table with the correct colors becomes
free. You or the waitress can use the bench, the podium, etc. to talk to
the customers and keep them happy while waiting for the right color. For
some levels, it may be the essential to do this.
Level
28:
Don't use all
the tables at the same time. Seat three groups, serve them food, chips,
drinks, anything they want, and seat the waiting people on the couch.
Use the hostess when it's getting crowded. When telephone-people are
seated next to bookworms, don't serve them dessert. The most important
is to seat costumers on seats of the same color. - Submitted

How you get
past level 40:
No matter what set 4 people, maybe 6 if you practice, and keep
them happy and run between orders and the podium to keep them happy...
Use the hostess she will keep people in line happy, BUT be careful, she
disappears and you don't know it until it is too late... You have to do
the snacks and caviar because they too rack up points... but NOT the
drinks... IF you can, try to set the people that are alike together... and
the joggers by the cell phone addicts. - Submitted

Level 40:
Seat 4 at a time and serve
all desserts and snacks requested. Call the hostess after closing when
there are about 8 groups in line and you have just served dessert to
the seated group. She will disappear before the end but not with so
much time left that you can't keep up - Submitted

Hints:
Before seating any group, put them onto the bench for a second and then seat
them. This gives them a small boost that'll help in the end. I've been doing
this, and it definitely helps. - Submitted

Remember, get color bonuses - this
really helps to get your score up - do this by trying to match the
color of people's clothes with the color of the chairs. Even if you
have free tables, but the chairs are of the wrong color, do not seat
new customers - wait until a table with the correct colors becomes free
- use the bench, and use the podium to talk to the customers and keep
them happy whilst doing this, alternatively use a waitress to do this
for you. - Submitted

The key to Diner
Dash 2 is, ironically, not to dash. Once you get a podium, it's very easy.
Stand at the podium as your customers start coming in. On the harder levels,
I seat four tables at the same time - so I wait for four sets of customers
to pile up at the podium (with Flo standing there to cheer them up) then
seat them all at once. I go back to the podium until all four are ready to
order. I pick up all the orders at once, place them, then go back to the
podium. It takes 5 seconds for the podium heart to "explode" and
make the people in line happy. Once you get your timing down, you can cheer
everyone up without losing points at your dinner tables.
I serve desserts
(if available) at the same time to the four tables, and pick up the checks,
then place my next set. Keeping everyone at the podium happy gives you the
chance to pick and choose where you want to place people. The more often you
match a customer color with a chair color, the higher point value that chair
will be. Try to put moms with babies on the highest valued chair, even if it
means not seating your families til last. Use your single and paired
customers to build up chair color points. I've gotten expert score on almost
every level using this method. Good luck!. - Submitted

What I found that
helped me was to let the customers stack up in the line while I stood at the
podium. Then once the line was pretty well full, I sat customers who liked
each other (either all loud or all quiet) at ALL the tables. Then I went
back to the podium to cheer up everyone in the line. Then I took everyone's
orders and went back to the podium. Then I served everyone and went back to
the podium. Once the restaurant closed, I called the hostess and let her
stand at the podium. I found that color matching wasn't a big priority on
this level, but keeping everyone happy was. By keeping everyone happy, I had
a lot of dessert orders and I filled all of them! Then I gave everyone their
checks and then cleared all the tables before sitting down a whole new room
full of customers that the hostess had been talking too. I lost one set of
customers and still passed the level. Before I used these tips I had managed
to not lose any customers but still lost the level! Anyway, hope this
helps someone! - Submitted

Tip:
Be sure, if you can, to seat family's as close to the chairs and mop as you
can. That will make it a whole lot faster to give them a chair or mop. - Submitted

Tips:
Step up to the podium! Use
the podium in between chains to make sure you don't lose any customers
tired of waiting for a table.
It's all about timing! In
later levels of the game, let customers line up so that you can seat
them more strategically. Seat customers that are going to take the
longest first and the impatient customers last -- that way everyone will
be ready to order at the same time.
Don't forget everyone's
favorite part of the meal. Make sure you keep your customers happy so
that they all order dessert when it's available to sweeten your score!
Everyone enjoys a drink on
the house! If you see a drink station in your restaurant, bring drinks
to the tables and feel the love.
Test your multi-tasking
skills and earn a bonus along the way. Chain your activities and try
taking a bunch of orders in a row Instead of completing one task at a
time.
Cell-phone Addicts may be
annoying to most patrons but tolerated by others. Families don't mind
noise so it's safe to seat them near those chatty cell phone guys.
Remember those color
matching games from kindergarten? Now's the time to bust out those
skills to earn yourself some extra bonus points. Seat customers in
chairs that match the color of their outfits and watch your score soar!
A crying baby needs your
attention pronto! Mommy's lap is fine for play but a high chair is the
right chair for toddler dining.
Nothing ruins a lovely meal
faster than the customer with his cell phone glued to his ear! Try to
seat these loud-mouth gabbers away from other diners.
