  • Hey guys and welcome back to Cooking DASH! Today we are beginning a new studio, Adventurous Eats! Cook and serve disgusting and yucky food in Adventurous Sty.

You will help her prepare dishes and serve some of the most delicious menu items to impatient customers. And If you are bored helping Flo, then why not lend a helping hand to Gordon Ramsay?

DASH – A dash holds 1/8 teaspoon. 8 dashes = 1 teaspoon A dash was originally considered a liquid measure, a small but indefinite amount. More recently the term has been used as both a liquid and dry measurement. At least that’s the consensus among most cooking and measuring authorities.

Okay back to the game. There will be challenges ahead, but proper time management, right upgrades and some tactics can help her achieve celebrity chef status in Cooking Dash 2016. Here are some tips and tricks that will help you earn more coins, cook and serve menu items faster:

1. Don’t Lose Customers

The faster you serve food to your customers, the more coins you earn. Many times, customers give bonus seconds, which boosts the timer. However, losing customers may earn you a penalty. Serve impatient, angry customers first i.e. those customers whose waiting meter is lower than others.

The green meter beside each customer is his/her waiting meter. A customer will leave Flo’s show if the meter goes below the danger level (red). Once the meter goes down and turns orange, it signals danger and the customer will show signs of restlessness and anger.

Some angry customers give bonus coins, so you are not at a loss if you are a bit late in serving them. Just make sure the waiting meter doesn’t turn red.

2. Customers Who Order a Dish with Coffee Can Be Served Later

You may ignore such customers for a few seconds to focus on those who order an entrée with side, because in the latter case, you will need to prepare both entrée and side and only then you can serve them to a customer.

For entrée with coffee order, you can keep a customer happy for a few seconds by serving him/her coffee first. You can come back later and serve them the remaining dish.

Here’s one Trick You May Follow:

If there are three customers and the first customer has ordered a dish with coffee, focus on preparing dishes for the other two and serve them.

When the waiting meter of the coffee customer dips down, serve him coffee first. This will increase this waiting meter. You may again focus on new customers.

Finally serve him/her the dish they had ordered .You can follow this trick for dishes that can be served separately to a customer.

3. Save Those Precious Seconds With This Tip

All levels are timer-based and so Flo needs to be quick in serving impatient customers. The good news is that she can use both hands to hold dishes/ingredients. Take advantage of her multitasking ability to cook and serve dishes faster and save time.

You can use this tip for entrée + side orders or those orders that require both dishes served at once. Make sure you upgrade appliances like the grill and the fryer to increase their capacity. This way you can grill/fry more than one menu item at a time.

4. You Need One Star to Go to the Next Level

Remember that you need only one star to complete the current level and get to the next level. Before preparing dishes, take a look at the number of customers you will be serving. The number can be seen at the top left corner of the screen. You don’t have to serve all customers, but need to earn coins from them to collect a star. Upgrade food items and ingredients to earn extra coins.

5. Collect Coins to Make Way for New Customers

The more customers you serve, the more coins you will earn. A customer will tip once he/she eats food. Make sure you tap on coins soon after they leave to make way for new customers. A new customer won’t appear on the table if you don’t collect coins.

You have only few minutes to serve customers and need to earn coins within those minutes. Grab those coins immediately to let a new customer enter your show and take his/her order immediately.

6. Upgrade Food Items to Earn More Coins

You should upgrade food items first if you want customers to tip heavily. Upgrading food items improves their quality of the menu item. Serving quality dishes will definitely attract generous tips. The more coins you earn, the faster you will reach a star. A dish prepared with upgraded food items also increases bonus tip.

7. Upgrade Appliances to Cook Food Faster

In Cooking Dash 2016, upgrading kitchen appliances like Grill and Fryer will increase their capacity and burn time. A grill or a fryer with additional slots will let Flo fry or grill more than one food items. This in turn will cook food faster; you will serve customers faster than usual and earn bonus coins. Increased burn time will ensure food items don’t get burned quickly.

You should also consider upgrading the warming station to increase its capacity. This appliance can be useful for entree with side dishes. You can keep one or two dishes on the warming station for future use or when you to combine with another dish straight off a grill or fryer.

Upgrading the Chopping Block and Battering Station will increase speed. Chopping and battering takes time and you need to be quick to serve customers. A speed upgrade will make battering and chopping faster.

8. Replay Previous Levels to Earn Extra Coins

You can replay previous season levels any time to earn extra coins. Look for previous levels where you earned only 3-4 stars and try to earn five stars in your second attempt. You earn a 5 star bonus and more coins/XP points if you get all 5 stars in a level.

Start with those levels where you were just one star away from getting a 5-star bonus. Then replay those levels where you received only 3 stars. This is one sure-shot way to earn coins + bonus rewards.

Too tired helping Flo in this fast-paced cooking Sim game? Take a break and check out our World Chef guide, a slow-paced cooking sim game. It lets you build your own restaurant empire, but there isn’t any hurry to serve customers. There are plenty of fun-loving chefs to be unlocked and a unique player’s marketplace where you can buy and sell dishes and ingredients.

Extra Tips and Tricks

Look for trophy notifications at the top-left corner of the screen. You earn a trophy and some rewards after completing the required tasks. The task could be anything ranging from beating episodes to serving customers. There are plenty of trophies and rewards to earn so keep playing levels.

You get profits from previous season every day. You will need to complete a season first before you can earn coins daily.

By launching Gordon Ramsay DASH, Glu gets closer to creating a Hell’s Kitchen-like game. Gameplay is almost identical to Cooking Dash 2016, but the action takes place in Chef Ramsay’s kitchen, where he will guide you to prepare the most delicious dishes and serve customers faster.There are several new features sprinkled here and there.

You can watch the video below to know more about Gordon Ramsay Dash and its awesome features:

Cooking dash level guide

There’s a Chefs Duel mode, where you can challenge friends and prove you are the fastest chef in Ramsay’s kitchen; a Farm Market, where you can buy and sell ingredients from friends and A Prep Kitchen that lets you prepare sumptuous dishes for VIP customers.

The game’s unique “Frenzy Mode” will compel you to make dishes and serve customers faster only to see Chef Ramsay in action! Follow these quick tips, hints and strategies if you want to get more frenzy points, prepare food faster, earn coins and reach higher stars:

1. Dos and Don’ts When Filling the Frenzy Meter

Filling the Frenzy meter will turn Gordon Ramsay into “SuperGordon”. When you tap him, he will serve everyone in the restaurant at lightning speed. You will need to earn Frenzy points to fill the meter.

Cooking Dash Episode Guide

Points can be earned by performing certain tasks such as swiping downwards to collect coins, picking and delivering multiple dishes. I know you are eager to know how to fill the meter faster, but before that you should know certain dos and don’ts:

If two customers order a food item and a cola, you can serve them colas first if it’s taking time to prepare food for them. This will not only increase their impatient meter (in case their meter is turning yellow or red), but also earn you a few frenzy points.

What you should you do is pick a cola and serve it to customer 1 and pick another cola to serve customer 2. This will trigger “Action Queue Bonus”. Alternatively, you can pick up two colas and serve both customers quickly to earn Frenzy points.

Throwing unwanted, burned items or items that you have mistakenly picked up into the dustbin will roll the meter back to zero, so make sure you don’t mess up with the orders or burn food, else your hard-earned points will go down the drain. Do note that ingredients or food thrown into the dustbin can also trigger a time penalty.

Actions that earn you Frenzy points may also earn you extra coins.

Swiping coins to collect them is one the easiest way to earn Frenzy points. When two or more customers eat, pay and leave, you just swipe downward to collect them and earn points.

Guide

However, things become difficult when one has paid and the other two are still eating, and this happens many times. In such situations you should tap to collect coins, because that seat won’t be occupied unless you have collected those coins.

You can make customers drink and eat faster if you want to earn quick frenzy points by swiping coins. To do this, go to the “Upgrades” section and tap the “Décor” tab. Select Counter and upgrade it.

If both customers have ordered the same dish, then you can easily serve them to get “Multi Serve Bonus”. Doing this, you will get more points and earn some bonus coins as well. Because the server uses both hands, he can easily pickup ingredients for two dishes of the same kind and serve them at once.

Make Sure you upgrade Grill, Grill Storage, Fryer and Fryer Storage, Chopped Storage to increase slots and storage capacity respectively so that your chef can cook faster and food does not get burnt. This way you will be to serve customers faster, get that occasional multi-pickup and multi-serve bonus and earn points.

Once you have unlocked Frenzy, you can begin playing Season 1 missions to earn frenzy points as well as bonus coins for actions like multi-serve, multi-pickups, action queue etc.

2. The Cola Trick

This trick was also mentioned in the Cooking Dash 2016 guide. When customers order both cola and a dish, and you can’t attend them for some reason, what you can do is quickly serve them colas. This will immediately raise the patience meter above your customers’ head in case they have turned yellow or red.

The meter shows how patient and happy your customer is and if it becomes empty, the customer will be angry and leave your restaurant. Try to make quick dishes that take less preparation time and serve them to those customers who have ordered them.

3. Turn off Sound If the Chef’s Voice Irritates You

I prefer playing Gordon Ramsay Dash with the sound turned off. Chef Gordon keeps pestering to serve customers faster and may even scold you for not being quick.

If you get nervous easily and don’t want the voice chiding you constantly for your fumbles and mistakes, just go to “Settings” on the map screen and turn off Sound. This might help you focus on preparing dishes and serve customers faster. But if you want that Master Chef-like experience, then turn on Sound and enjoy playing this game as it is.

4. Upgrade Kitchen Appliances to Unlock More Slots, Increase Speed and Burn Time

Upgrading Grill will unlock an extra grill. Keep upgrading this appliance to make things cook faster and burn slower.

Upgrade Grill Storage to increase its capacity. Grilled ingredients will be immediately transferred to this storage and won’t burn. More slots unlocked would eventually mean faster cooking.

Upgrade Fryer to unlock another slot. Keep upgrading to increase burn time. Increased burn time won’t make food burn quickly. Don’t forget to upgrade Fryer Storage as well. This will increase its capacity and the fried items will be quickly transferred to the storage.

Upgrading the chopping block will make your partner chop potatoes and other ingredients faster. Also upgrade the chopped storage to open up more slots so that the veggies will be stored in them when the chef finishes chopping them.

Upgrade Cola Dispenser to get more than one cola. At level 2, it will earn extra coins for you.

Cooking Dash Guide

Upgrading the Condiments, BLT, Chili and Cheese Topping Station will increase the speed of adding toppings to your food items.

Upgrade the Ice cream dispenser to make ice creams faster.

5. How to Earn More Coins and Get More Stars

In most levels, your goal will be to earn an X number of coins and get at least one star to advance to the next level. While performing certain actions like multi-serves etc. will get you some bonus coins, upgrading food is a sure-shot way to get more coins from customers.

Cooking Dash Recipe Guide

Upgrading food boosts their quality. Better the quality of a foodstuff, more coins you will earn from each customer. This will also result in reaching high stars. Tap the tiny Shop icon in the Seasons screen. This icon is located at the bottom left corner of the screen. Now tap the second tab, below appliances. This is where you can upgrade food to improve their quality.

Cooking Dash Recipes By Episode Guide

To earn more coins try to upgrade Beef, Turkey, Onion Rings and Potato. Save coins to upgrade them first. But don’t ignore toppings as well.

6. Upgrading Décor: Advantages

In Gordon Ramsay DASH, your culinary skills are of no use if the customer is impatient or eats slow. Thankfully, you can change your customer’s behavior by upgrading décor.

Tap the décor tab, which is located below the food tab in the upgrades section. Make sure you upgrade “Counter” first to get an eating speed boost. This will make customers eat, pay and leave faster. Upgrading the Art Sculpture will add an extra customer, whereas Carpet and Wall Art will increase customer patience when upgraded.

Additional Tips and Hints

1. You can play old season levels to earn extra coins. Don’t forget to perform actions to get “Multi Serve” and “Action Queue” bonuses.

2. The “Trophies” section provides a list of tasks that you can complete to get rewards. These could be anything from coins to gold bars, even supplies! Tap the Trophies icon at the top-left corner of the home screen to get a list of tasks.

3. At some point of time, you will be given an opportunity to prepare special recipes, delicious dishes for VIP customers. But for preparing them you will need food items that are not available in plenty. This is where the Farm Market may help you:

Cooking Dash Guide

It gets unlocked at player Level 9 and it will let you purchase the finest ingredients from other human players. You can also sell any food items via the market. You also get toppings and other stuff from time to time after completing a Venue’s Season. A Season contains several episodes.

4. The “Bonus Offer” Usually appears when you lose an episode of a level. This offer may grant rewards like coins or supplies but for that you will have to watch a short advert to get them.

5. Complete Season 3 to Unlock Expert Mode. As the name suggests, it’s a challenger of sorts, and completing it won’t be easy at all. In Expert Mode, two more stars are unlocked and if you reach them, you will earn extra rewards.
