How to get More Smiles
For customers with multiple orders, you should complete at least one order for reach such guest to make sure their happiness or smile meter stays in the green zone. If the happiness goes down to the orange zone, and then the customer’s order is fulfilled, you will receive only one smile.

Smiles are required to reach the top of the chef’s league. When you reach a new chef league, you will receive a special chest, which contains rewards like gems.
For example, if a customer orders a cup of coffee and a pancake dish together, quickly tap on the coffee mug to serve it to him. His happiness bar will shoot up a bit. Do this for others customers with multiple dish orders until each customer has only one order left. You can also use cookies to increase happiness bar and then fulfill the order to get more smiles.

Pay Attention to a Level’s Goal
Each level has a certain goal. It could be a timed level (timer icon), a level where you will have to earn a certain number of coins or a level that requires to serve all orders without losing a customer.

For example: In level 15, you will have to collect 320 coins, but at the same time make sure that you don’t burn pancakes on the griddle. If you burn one, it’s game over.
Make sure you get your priorities right when you complete a goal. For timed level, you shouldn’t care about gaining bonus smiles and the only focus should be to earn the required number of coins or serve required number of guests before the timer runs out. You will have to keep your stoves engaged soon after serving customers.
In certain levels, you will have to collect “likes” (thumbs up icon). Make sure you serve a dish to a customer before the green happiness meter moves below the thumbs up icon on it.
In levels where you can’t lose a customer, make sure that their happiness meter stays in the green. A customer leaves when the meter reaches the red zone and is empty.
Use grandma’s cookies on the top-left corner of the screen to keep their happiness levels high so that no customer leaves.
