I've got dishes available for stealing, but friends are ordering those same dishes anyway. I think they aren't seeing the notice I put on Game Center, so I'm posting it here too.
I don't cheat so I don't have unlimited toxin. If a recipe says it takes 3 days to cook, it really takes me three days to cook it. I cannot fill all of the orders for long (>20 hour) dishes I've been getting. There just aren't enough zombie-hours in the day and my guys have to rest and recharge each day. This means that, though I don't just reject dishes because they are long, there is still a high probability the order will expire before I can get to it if it is particularly long.
So I set up a raid buffet in my cafe. Each counter has one specific dish on it. You can easily identify the specific dish (not just the type, but the variant), by visiting my buffet menu at http://stashkitty.com/zombie-cafe . The menu changes daily (1-2 old items are removed and 1-2 new items are added, depending on my raiding activities and gifts I receive)
Now serving:
1. Keblobs (base dish) - level 9
2. Frozen Street Pizza - rare
3. Fancy Rot Dogs - level 6
4. Frozen Brine Shrimp Cocktail - level 22
5. Very Spicy Net Prawn - level 24 (bonus dish I can't cook for you, but you can steal)
6. Fresh Kablobs - level 9
7. Frozen Anti-Hero Sandwich - level 21
I'm trying to focus on the difficult to get dishes, in particular the longer ones in the upper levels. I'm also throwing in dishes that are popular at the moment.
If the raiding doesn't take off, I'll stop cooking for the buffet, but I still won't be able to fill all the orders I'm getting. For every order I place, I'm getting about 5 orders to fill because so many of my friends don't have any of the remaining 35 variants I need to have everything, but they still order daily, and often dishes taking 2-3 days to prepare (like the three orders for plain Fetidccini I got in the last three days). I have to prioritize and fill orders from people who are filling orders for me first, and then filling shorter dishes because I can get more of them done than the longer ones. Then do the longer ones only when zombies/stoves are available and they have nothing more pressing to attend to.
If you need a long dish prepared, especially one below level 17, just look for a hacked cafe which can cook it instantly because they use toxin. Long orders don't burden them, and they don't have to recharge their zombies the hard way. Order the rarer items from me that you can't find anywhere else, because I probably have it (I have 525 out of 560 available recipes).
It's pretty easy to spot a hacked cafe:
- lots of yoko zombies or more than 10 zombies
- many barrels of toxin
- many ATMs
- promises to cook instantly
More than half of my friends have hacked cafes, so they're are plenty of them available.
