SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-off guide: How to maximise your earnings

How to make the most coins

Speaking of efficiency, let’s take a look at how to maximise your earnings in SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-off:

Time is money

Time literally translates to money in SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-off, as you earn more money per customer-served, and can earn extra depending on how fast you serve them. Naturally, this can vary per level, depending on your goals, but it almost always pays to serve as quickly as possible.

Here are a few tips on how to go fast:

- Serve customers in chronological order, with those that appear first, receiving their items first

- The only exception to this rule is when a customer requests a single item that no one else wants, as you can rush this out of the door quickly without annoying the other customers

- Always have food cooking so that when you need it, it’s there

- Pre-preparing popular food, where possible, can save you precious moments (it’s only worth doing when you have the space though)

Speculate to accumulate

Sometimes you have to spend money to make money, and that’s as true in SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-off as in real life. This is where your restaurant upgrades come in. You’ll earn more money from each individual ingredient the higher you upgrade it, while your appliances will become a lot more efficient them.

It’s well worth improving your appliances first, as efficiency really is key, but ensure that you do get around to upgrading each ingredient eventually, as this will allow you to earn more each time you sell a dish.

Pay attention to the mission objectives

You may miss this, but each level has its own set of objectives, which don’t really change the way that you play but can alter the fail-states. For example, one level may require you to not lose a single customer, while another might punish you for burning an item.

Pay attention to this, as you don’t want to spend precious time in a level only to fail it due to carelessness. Besides, certain levels can actually allow you to make more money, like those that challenge you to serve as many customers as possible within a time limit.

only use boosters when you’re stuck

Boosters are very expensive, so you really don’t want to waste them on any old level. In fact, we encourage you to actively ignore them unless you’re stuck. If you don’t believe us, take a look in the store. A pack of three boosters can cost $1.99 (£1.99) to $3.98 (£3.98). That’s not cheap.

upgrade your restaurant for various bonuses

Don’t neglect your restaurant upgrades, mind. While, at first glance, they may not appear quite as important as your kitchen upgrades, they actually do have solid effects. Your interior upgrades increase the amount of money you make from tips and, though small per each individual item, they do add up to a substantial amount over time.

Similarly, your restaurant’s decor provides you with pearls, which unlock special chests that reward you with gems, the premium currency. Given that this is in short supply, and necessary for most upgrades, it’s well worth grabbing these as often as possible.
