Beginners Guide to Diner Dash Video Game

In Diner Dash the secret winning each level is simply to connect your actions to get big bonuses. The more actions and bonuses you get means that you can receive an expert score in each level.

The actions of Diner Dash are:
Seat customer
Take order
Give order to cook
Bring order to customer table
Give customer the check
Clear dirty dishes from the table

How you connect actions and get a big bonus is you do the same action more than once in a row. When your restaurant opens for the day try to seat as many people as you can handle. For a beginner seating two or three customers in Diner Dash is ideal early on. Once they are seated wait until they all raise their hand to order and then quickly click on each table to take the orders. You do have to go give the orders to the cook and come back if you have more than two orders at once.

Try your best not to break the chain because this will make your bonus counter start back at 0. The chain is broken if you are doing one thing such as bringing the plates to the table and someone is ready for their check. If you give this table their check before giving all the other customers their food, the chain is broken. Keep the chains going for a higher Diner Dash cash amount and watch your total grow.

Beginners Guide to Diner Dash Video Game #2 - Match Customers to Seats

Customers come in different colors and you will notice that the seats at the tables in Diner Dash come in colors as well. This is another bonus that you can get. When you match someone to a chair color you get $100 for each person matched. After the first person has left you will start to see bonus multipliers. That means that you will see x1, x2, x3, and x4. Every time you sit a customer in Diner Dash and match them to a chair, the multiplier goes up and you get bigger bonuses.

This is tricky sometimes because are you progress in the game you get four, five and even six customers in Diner Dash to seat at once. They move as a group once selected but they will all be different colors making it difficult to keep your chair bonus multiplier. The best way to get around this is to seat the person who matches the highest chair bonus. If the others match a seat then you will receive an added bonus for each of them as well.

Beginners Guide to Diner Dash Video Game #3 - Work Fast!

The happier your customers are the bigger the tip is that they will leave you. Customers all have hearts next to them that tell you how happy or in some cases, angry they are. Try to work as fast as possible to get everyone seated, served and gone. Things do get hectic sometimes when you have more people than tables and people in your line begin to get angry and then leave. This is bad because $200 to $600 and more is taken out of your total for each person that leaves.

Beginners Guide to Diner Dash Video Game #6 - Quick Tips

Give coffee and snacks to customers with a low heart meter, this makes them happy and less likely to leave.

If the heart meter runs out your customer leaves, costing you money.

When your restaurant is closed or about to close, leave all the dirty dishes on the tables as you serve customers. Once your customers are all gone you can clean the tables in a row for a long bonus.

Hotshots and Seniors wait patiently in line so serve the impatient customers first.

Use the podium to keep your guests in line happy. The podium is a great tool and will allow to pick different Diner Dash customers out of line order to have a better seating and order bonus.
