Best hints to do the Catering order

I tried doing the Grandpas BBQ and failed the first time
and think it can not be done.
So I read everything what people say on the forums and
tried the second time. But this time I was prepared.

1. I first went to the Add me page on the forum so to
get more people.
2. I than check out all my neighbors on my list and wrote
down the people with the highest level and most stoves,
3. Lighting stoves was a plus and how many
4. Check to see who was very active and wrote the names down
5. Start by pre cook the food with the longest time.
6. While cooking now I check out who was cooking the same
order as I was on.
7. Before starting I make a list of all the people who
are high up,most stoves and cooking same thing as I am
8. Just before I click on the food to serve it I will start
the order.
9. I will add the people on the list only to help me.Later
if the names didn't show up on the list like the first
time. I still have a idea who is helping me.
10. I than check to make sure who was helping me and
write it down.
11. Add all people who I can help(and do it) if you finish
with each as they do, you will get a bonus for helping
so worth it.So more help better.
12. Than I click on stoves to serve.
13. All during the order I keep checking on my helpers to
see what they are cooking.
Best if you can communicate with them.
14. I than cook the longest first than see where on my
order what I need to cook next.
15. Than I change what I am to cook by checking who
cooking what and what left on the order need cooking.

I have keep a list of all the people who help me on each
order and keep the ones who was active and was helping me
and get rid of the others. So to know who to hire on the
next order.

I help people who is doing the same thing as I am.
So at one time I had about 15 people who I was helping
at same time I was cooking. Finishing with them you will get
a bonus (stay with it till they are done even if your done.)

When I was finish with my order. I still help the others
with their orders till they are finish. This way you will
get better co operation in future with them in helping you
to finish and you earn more points and up your mastery and coins.
So its a win - win.

I hope this will help you on the next order you do and
Best of Luck.

Added hints on when asking for help

1. When catering order is coming up don't send out any gifts.
2. Ask neighbors on your list first for help.When start order.
3. Than divide up the rest on how many requests you need.
(Example this last order Ballooms and party favors)

This way you will be able to do this in the same day & time.
You will be able to ask for helpers first and than send out
your requests at same time.Its when you don't ask the same
person twice for anything.That you'll be able to

*Example if need 20 helpers I will send out 22 helps
if need 15 balloons, I will send out 17 requests
on party favors of 10 .I'll send out 12
any people left I will save & send out later as needed.
This way you can get all done at same time and day.

If come up saying can't add more save those people and later same day
if you go out of Café world and come back you can add more of requests if
if still needed the (Example balloons and party hats)items to add more.
Don't send out gifts that day so to able to do it. Or anything else that would have you to check on peoples name. Example if you are asking for parts on lighting stove. Ask for help on all will send to everyone and not through your list like it would when you do as one at a time.
It will work if you plan right.
