All For One, and One For All !

July 28, 2010 by Bevypoo
All for one, and one for all was the motto of a fictional group of French musketeer heroes who stayed loyal to each other through thick and thin in the novel of the Three Musketeers. Fitting perfectly into this week’s theme in Restaurant City as the story is set in the 17th century during the Baroque era and is partially set in the Versailles Palace, home of the King and Queen.
Ironically this title is even more fitting then just for this week’s item release, as you our fans are like our Three Musketeers (loyal to us through thick and thin) so to you I say “All for one, and one for all”. Due to popular requests from our musketeers, the Magic Boxes will be brought back on July 30 GMT for a limited time of three days only! Three days, three musketeers, hmmm coincidence ?
Starting with the exterior of your restaurants in this update, you will find just enough items combined with those of last week’s to accurately recreate scenes from any version of the Three Musketeers; many of these taking place on the steps of the Versailles Palace. To help you to not have to choose just one design or scene for your exterior we have now updated the game to allow you to design and save up to four layouts!!!

Inside your restaurants you will find some new extravagant bold items and marbles to help complete your interior design of the Versailles PalaceMarble ColumnsStone dividers,Elegant Rug and a few more colored wallpapers to add to your previous collection from last week’s new items.

For your customer’s Versailles dining experience we have added a wide selection of grand and exquisite seating.

*Please also note that the original Lounge bar extensions have now also been added back in the shops.
Jade Bar ExtensionExquisite Bar Extension
The Versailles Palace just wouldn’t be the same palace if it didn’t include Glorious andRhythmic Fountains, sculptured HedgesHarpsichordsGrand Statues and Wall Mounted Candles placed all over. One of these grandiose items is an exquisite beauty and can not be obtained by purchasing in the shops. Will you be the first to wow your customers by displaying this item in your restaurant?

These four animated characters are a must have to bring your Versailles theme to life. Just be careful not to place Porthos, Athos or Aramis too close to any customers to ensure they don’t get caught in the path of these sword swinging heroes as they stand guard and protect your restaurant.

On your menus this week we have added three new French dishes to serve in your restaurant as well as one new ingredient, Duck. These three new dishes added to your menus allows you the opportunity to serve your customers a complete French course.

Adding to the collection of employee outfits is a new Musketeer Outfit. Wearing the Musketeer attire is said to be a great honor and shows devotion to the King or in this case restaurant connoisseur. Show your employees your appreciation of their dedication, loyalty and hard work by honoring them with the privileged of wearing this outfit!

Announcing the Lounge Bar competition results!

July 26, 2010 by Playfish Blog
Firstly thank you all for taking part in the Lounge Bar competition. We were as overwhelmed as ever at the sheer skill and creativity on show, and let us tell you now that makes us pretty darn overwhelmed!
We’ve sent our roving restaurant critic to report on the winning restaurants, so take it away roving restaurant critic!
I’m reporting live from the winning restaurant tapping the results of the competition into my trusty laptop. I’m not going to say too much about where I am just yet so I don’t spoil the surprise but I will tell you that from where I’m sitting I can see a rather nice collection of bottles and a drinks keg, decorated tastefully with a fine black marble pillar.
But more about where I’m sitting later. The competition was split into four parts. As well as asking you to show us the last word in lounge bar dining there were three other categories — the More Than A Bouncer Award, the Oops! I Can’t Believe That Just Happened! Award and the relatively sensible sounding Best Lounge Bar Name Award.
Bouncers are the unsung heroes of Restaurant City. They don’t get paid like the other staff do. They don’t get to rest like other staff do. They just have to stand there and wait just in case someone causes trouble. And touch wood, no customer has ever caused any trouble in the history of Restaurant City. The hours are long and the work can be a little uneventful. So we wanted to give the bouncers a chance to show what they can really do. And you know what? It turns out they’re good at being big. But not, y’know, bouncer big. We’re talking really big. Like, this big:

So congratulations gemesimo, the 100 Playfish Cash for the More Than A Bouncer Award is yours. We’d come visit your restaurant to congratulate you in person but we’re a bit put off by the whole scary giant bouncer being in there thing. By the way, I just ordered this pink fruit cocktail from behind the well stock drinks bar in the overall winning restaurant but it was kind of sugary for me and I haven’t got much of a sweet tooth. Between you and me I poured it into one of the blue and white Ming vases that were close to my table and- oops, I think I just gave another clue where I was didn’t I? No. Bad roving reporter. Think before you type.
Anyway, for the next entry, well, we shouldn’t really laugh but we have to admit it made us chuckle. This one comes courtesy of “LOL!!” and we really hope the 100 Playfish Cash they just won helps to repair some of the flood damage in their restaurant.

As you can see, LOL!!’s staff have paddled out of the restaurant to go on strike outside. Having said that they don’t seem to be in agreement on the terms, with some claiming the restaurant needs a bar, some arguing what the restaurant needs is a new stove and one who we’re guessing has had enough because all he really wants is a new job. Well done LOL!!, we hope you get your restaurant back in business soon. And to the guy outside asking for a new job, we really hope that works out for you.
Next up is the Best Lounge Bar Name Award. VIP Lounge (Very Important Pharaohs) takes the top spot earning khoi1979 100 Playfish Cash! Special mention must go to Cocoa Cabana by PunkiC and The Codfather by Spursy79 which came a close 2nd. 1979 must have been a good year for restaurant naming!
So now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for. The top 3 winning restaurants as voted for by the Playfish team. A picture paints a thousand words so we’ll let your photography skills do the talking:
Pinky25 wins 200 Playfish Cash for Exquisite
Davidk wins 250 Playfish Cash for The Full Moon
So that just leaves one restaurant. The restaurant which I’m sitting in now enjoying the duck confit, which might I say is every bit as exquisite as the ambience. The winner of the Lounge Bar Competition and the 300 Playfish Cash grand prize is…
BUTTERCUP with Black Magic Bar! Congratulations BUTTERCUP!
Don’t worry, we didn’t forget the community vote. We wanted to save it until last because there otherwise we’d have given away which restaurant came in first place. So, we asked you to vote for your favourites which would take 4th, 5th and 6th place in the competition and earn their owners a cool 150 Playfish Cash each. And you know what? It turns out great minds think alike.Black Magic Bar was your top voted restaurant with an impressive 23.3% of the vote and it was our top voted restaurant too. Your 3rd choice, The Full Moon with 14.87% of the vote, was actually our choice to come 2nd overall. So that means your 2nd choice, Euphoria with 17.89% of the vote, takes 4th place overall. Cocoa Cabana takes 5th place with 11.33% of the vote andCarpe Noctum takes the 6th spot with 10.36% (apologies to C and H who were wrongly credited with 6th place). Give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well done, folks.
Well that’s a wrap. We hope you’ve enjoyed the competition and all those amazing lounge bars. Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who took part! You’re all awesome!

Keeping in the theme of taking you back in time this weeks new item release in Restaurant Citytakes you to Europe dating all the way back to the late 16th century to late 18th century know as the Baroque Opulence. It is said that Baroque decor was borrowed more or less directly fromLouis XIV’Versailles Palace and driven by the new wealth of the middle classes. You can expect this week to find plenty of ornate , intricate and grandiose styles to add to your restaurants allowing you a chance to capture the true artistic and architecture style of Baroque.
For the Exterior  of your restaurants this week you will find all the  items that  you need to remodel your restaurants appearance to look similar to the Chateau De Versailles. TheVersailles was the royal residence where the king lived and often found himself surrounded by members of nobility, the Courtiers.

Hello fellow restaurateurs! Welcome to a new week in Restaurant City ! The game has just been updated with new drinks, new levels, and an awesome feature for floor tiles that I know you’ll all love! You can also take a sneak peek at the items that will be available on Thursday 12AM GMT right here on the blog.
As previously stated, we have added more levels to the game. The highest achievable level is now level 80. When you reach level 80, you will unlock another additional employee!
Also added this week is a special feature that I know many of you have been waiting for for quite some time! You are now able to select an area when you are placing tiles as opposed to placing them one by one.

This week is all about the Glitz and Glamor! Camera flashes, lights, fame, fortune and red carpet action! Everything Hollywood right here in Restaurant City. You might even recognize some faces, though they have slight name changes… probably something to do with the paparazzi. ;) We even have our very own Golden Award Statue, it will make you feel like you’re at the Grammy’s!
Under the functional tab, we have several new and exciting additions.
  • The Red Marble Toilet works 4x longer without breaking, and is 40% faster.
  • The DJ Arcade Machine earns 850 coins every 4 hours.
  • The Celebration Fireworks Stand spawns fireworks into your restaurant
  • The Football Wall TV attracts football fans to your restaurant.
  • The Washington Monument adds +1 to your popularity (does not stack with the same item)
Make sure your guests can take part in the total celebrity experience. The new Sofa Leather Chairs are both modern and classy, I’ll bet Lady Cocoa has a couple of yellow ones at her place ;)

Those celebrating the 4th of July or even Canada Day (July 1st) can show their pride by setting off fireworks with the Outdoor Fireworks Stand over top their restaurant. If you’re not American/Canadian do it anyway! Who doesn’t love fireworks?!

How is everyone enjoying their Lounge Bar? We’ve added two new mocktails for your Bartender to serve up! Just like the other drinks we’ve released in the past couple of weeks, these drinks unlock something special. The first, Kiwi Twist (yummy!) unlocks the Bar Drink Mixer, which permanently increases your chances for a customer to tip 2 extra coins by 15%. The second drink, Mango Tango unlocks the other bar tap, which again will permanently increase your Bar Tenders speed by 10%. You know how fussy those celebrities can be! They want their drinks yesterday!

Saturday Night Fever!

June 23, 2010 by pullyourtangles
Welcome to yet another wonderful week in Restaurant City!
We are still celebrating the launch of Lounge Bars in RC. This week is all about a night on the town! The sun’s gone down, party-goers have put on their best “club” outfit, fresh new drinks are being introduced, and classy, modern & sleek new designs have made their way into the shops! What more could you ask for?
Indoors this week there are a variety of items to help transform your restaurant into a posh hot spot that everyone is talking about! First impressions are important, make a bold statement right when your customers walk through the Posh Night Double Door! Plaster your walls with the beautiful Chic Wallpaper, and have your guests settle in to the new Midnight Neon Table, and Fire Pillar. These are two animated items that will help create a warm ambiance in your restaurant. I also suggest adding the two new talented decor entertainers, the Jazz Singer &Saxophone Player to complete the look.

The Trendy Clubbers won’t notice anyway, they are too eager to get inside and have a drink at the bar! Make sure you have your bouncers on duty! ;)

Just like last week we are introducing 3 special drinks that each unlock something quite special upon mastering them. (Level 10) The first, called Pink Lemonade unlocks a Lounge Bar Tap. The Bar Tap will automatically appear in front of your bartender and will permanently make his/her performance speed increase by 10%. The second drink, Boston Cooler, unlocks a Night Sculpture which when placed in your restaurant will make outside of your restaurant night time all the time! Last but not least, the third drink called Mint Breeze will unlock an additional seat at your bar!

We also have a little sumpin sumpin for all of the FIFA fans out there too! You can transform your entire restaurant into a football field (now that’s dedicated!) by using the new AstroTurf tiles! The Football Stove will get your food out 15% faster to the hungry football fans out there, and the Foosball Table will keep them entertained (while earning you 1700 coins every 4 hours! Win-Win!)
