Which dishes are best?

Question

QuestionWhich dishes are best?
AnswerThere is no 'best' dish! 
First, it's most important to choose foods with cooking times that match your schedule. Choosing dishes with cooking times that correspond with your schedule will ensure that you are able to serve your dishes before they spoil. When dishes spoil, you lose the Chips that you invested. 
You should also check out the amount of servings that each dish produces. If you are keen on maintaining a good rating for you Cafe, you should always keep your serving tables full of food. By choosing dishes that produce the amount of food that corresponds with the rate you play Cafe, your serving tables will always remain full.
To calculate the potential profit of each dish, do the following math: 
One dish of Local Vegetarian Omelette produces 150 servings. The dish costs 280 Chips to cook. Customers pay 5 Chips for one serving of this dish.
150 servings*5 Chips = 750 Chips
After all servings of this dish are served to customers, you will have earned 750 Chips. 
750-280 = 470 Chips
The net profit of the Local Vegetarian Omelette is 470 Chips. 
But remember--in order to earn this profit you must serve the dish before it spoils!

Well, your both formulas are correct (Sarah, chowpuppy), but, it depends on the aim of the game.I f you aim to get higher levels fast, you should maybe consider different approach.Basically, if you could reach 5* rating, then the number of customers you will have will be same whatever you do.This means you should think of the maximum earning you can get from each customer.Chowpuppy formula can be helpful if you have lack of food, but if you do not have such problem, use Sarah's formula.Chowpuppy formula is very helpful in Farm game.If you are aiming to get higher in levels faster, you need to supply the highest paid food, since the number of customers are the same, so why waste a customer with 5 chips when you can get 28 chips out of him?The best food for sure depends on the level your game is, they keep changing, but remain the same after some level, I don't remember which it was.If you are aiming to be the best employer, you need to get the most profit out of food.To make it short, the best food for both aims is "Maryland Crab Cakes": higher paid and highest profit.Black & Tan is the highest paid but not much profit, and very short time to cook, your cooker will not be able to be as fast.I earlier levels, there was another dish that pays around 35 chips, I don't remember the dish name, since I suddenly lost it in my menu. Try to buy as much as you can of it, before you also lose it when you get higher levels.Good Luck all..
