What better way to spend the waning hours of the first day of the new decade than to update all of the tables for the new dishes on Café World? Zynga has added a number of new dishes over the past few weeks, so it’s about time for updated data on all the dishes.
Since I’ve written three previous articles on the topic:
- Café World Economics: Profit & Café Points
- Café World Economics: Updated Tables
- Café World Economics: Real World Hourly Wages
I won’t repeat the previous analysis. As a reminder, all of these numbers assume:
- The numbers are per dish, per stove
- The numbers assume the cost (15 coins) and experience (+1) of cleaning the stove each cycle
- Profit & Cafe Points tables assume “instant” cleaning time.
- Real World Hourly Wages assumes a cleaning time of 1 minute per stove.
You can read my previous posts for the rational behind these assumptions.
How to use these tables. For me, I use the tables as follows: If I know I won’t be able to check on my Café for the next 24 hours, I go down the table I’m trying to optimize for (money or experience) and I look for the first dish in the list that is 1440 minutes AND that I have enough experience to cook. For example, I’m currently at level 42, so if I’m looking for a “1 day” dish, the first one for experience is Grand Tandoori Chicken. But since I can’t buy that yet, I have to keep going down until I hit King Crab Bisque.
