Restaurant City Easy Dishes to Level Up

Introduction

We will be discussing how difficult is it to level up certain dishes in Restaurant City. The purpose for this will be to pick the easier dishes, and go with them. The reason for this is that the quicker you can level up a dish, the more gourmet points you will have, and therefore be a higher level in the game. This eventually leads to more money, and unlocking more features.

This is setup on a formula that considers both:

1. How likely someone is to trade with you, and
2. The current level of demand for those ingredients (using the Market app on Facebook’s statistics).

The formula:

1. Add together the 3 (or 4) ingredient’s total amount needed in the game (aka Inventory Ingredient Value) (i.e. For Onion Soup; Onion = 30, Garlic = 40, Bay Leaf = 40), then divide by 2060 (>the total amount of ingredients needed in the game), and multiply the answer by 100. This gives you a percentage of, out of all the ingredients you need, how many are ingredients needed for that dish.
2. Add together the market demand value (this is a little subjective; I assigned every interval of demand on the Market App a value of 10, with the intervals being 10%. So 0-10% was 10, 11-20% was 20, and so on) of each ingredient and divide by the number of ingredients to get the average.
3. Add the average market demand value to the percentage from step 1.

This will give you an idea of how hard it will be to level the dish based on the current market demand.
