Tips and tricks

In the kitchen

• Calm spirals. The rozell levels best at a steady pace; three calm turns beat one quick one. If the spread is not even yet, keep going: it stays open until the batter sets.
• Turn the heat down while you are learning. Gentle heat gives more time for every colour; the guest waits a little longer, but the crêpe is better.
• Butter the rim on every side. It is one tap, it lengthens the perfect moment and the guest can taste it.
• Portion while it cooks. Tap a filling's well while the first side is on the heat and it waits in the dish; once the crêpe is face up, tap the dish to tip it on.
• Look before you flip. Rest a finger on the edge to lift it and see the underside.
• Fold last. Put every ordered filling on first; the fold hint waits for you anyway.
• Ice cream last of all. It melts while it waits.

At the counter

• Ask when in doubt. "Pardon?" or "What do you mean?" costs only the small bonus for understanding by yourself. A wrong guess costs more.
• Read the amounts. "Just two banana slices" and "plenty of honey" are on the pad; the usual is shown for pieces nobody counted.
• Learn the regulars' favourites. The first time each regular gets theirs really well made is worth 5 pearls.

At the market

• The cheapest card is the Copper Tip Jar at 28,00 €: it pays on every plate from then on.
• Buckwheat early. At 45,00 € the flour is the cheap way into galettes, which sell for more, and it opens every savoury filling.
• New fillings sell. Guests ask for a filling more the less it has been served, so a new jar does not stand on the shelf.
• Saving up pays. Keep saving for the same card and after a few evenings it gets cheaper.
• Spare money? From rank 3, A Round for the Street turns euros into renown, and the sachet of pearls turns them into pearls.

In the yard

• Plant before you open. Crops grow while you cook and while the app is closed. Spinach is the quickest at 2 h.
• Home-grown is free and tips more: 0,30 € a filling on top of the tip.
• A tree is an investment: slow to the first picking, but picked several times.
• Use the free compost from the heap on your slowest crop.

Pearls

• Play earns them. Every day you serve anyone earns pearls, whatever the score, and so does every fifth guest. Nothing in the game needs pearls to progress.
• Placers are cheapest for the early fillings. A placer for a filling you serve a lot saves the most taps.
