Cafe World Buzz Rating

Running a successful Café can be a tough business, and requires a delicate balance between cooking great food, and having great service. Part of the challenge in Café World is finding the right balance to turn your Café into a 5 star establishment. What worked in your Cozy Café may not always work as you expand your operation into a Bountiful Café, and you may need to change your recipe for success!

Some things to keep in mind as you expand your Café are:

1. Make sure there is a full Pathway from door(s) to *each* chair, and from your Counters to *each* table. Try to leave plenty of space for both Customers and Waiters to move around without having to go around objects in their path.


2. Nothing should be blocking or too close to the first step of the doorway.


3. Tables must have an empty spot around one of the 8 sides (4 sides, 4 corners) to be served and a chair facing it.


4. Serving counters should have an empty spot (facing it) from one of the 4 sides to allow your Waiters to pick up a dish. Avoid putting counters in corners where your Waiters will not be able to pick up a dish.


5. Try to avoid creating small places between your counters where your waiters can be stuck.


6. For larger Café’s try placing your Counters in a more central location of your Café so that Waiters will have to travel less distance to reach your Customers.


7. Don’t expand too fast! If you do not have enough waiters to serve all your customers some may leave unhappy.


8. If you are low on food, some people choose to drag their door into their inventory to “close” your Café until you have more food.


9. Your Buzz Rating will not change while you are away from your Café. If your Buzz rating is starting to climb please leave your Café running so your Buzz Rating can reach its full potential. It may several hours for your Buzz to rise to its highest point.

If you find that your Buzz Rating is not as high as it used to be, or that your Customers are not being served fast enough you may want to take a look at some of your neighbors Café’s to see what works for them, and get some ideas for the perfect setup. Experiment with different layouts of your own to find that perfect balance that will have everyone in the neighborhood raving about your Cafe!
I have always achieve a Buzz Rate of 105 for my Cafe World by following the simple rules and you can also do it.

If you find that after trying these steps you are still having trouble with your Buzz Rating please send us a screenshot of your Café, and we will be happy to take a look at it and pass on a few suggestions for increasing your Buzz, or you can stop by our community forums and “ask your neighbor.”

NTUC Cashier Break Time

NTUC operations department must ensure that part time cashier are given break time according to their work time. NTUC@Admiralty sometimes do not give break to part time cashiers who have work for 6 hours. When the outlet are busy, no break was given to the part time cashier except for toilet break.

This is a violation of work practices. Most company will give workers 15 minutes of rest for every 4 hours work. NTUC Supermarket should understand this and should not abuse the system and allowed a worker to work beyond 5 hours without a break. This is mainly the problem with the management of the NTUC Outlet as it is not within the control of NTUC headquarters.

CNY Pasar Malam at Bishan

Bishan East has organized one of the biggest Pasar Malam for the Chinese New Year Celebration. It has bought excitement to the community as it provide another alternative other than Chinatown for shopping for your Chinese New Year.

But you will be disappointed if you have visited the Pasar Malam as many stalls are vacant with less than 7 days to CNY. One of the exhibition hall was empty without any stalls. There is not much excitement as compare with the ChinaTown Bazaars.

Fun and Games Ride
If you are bringing your kids for the game rides and games, visit the place after 6PM where it will be cooling. Lots of game rides and games for your kids to choose. Watch out for your wallet.

Getting There
You may use public transportation and alight at Bishan MRT or Bishan Interchange. If you are driving your car, there are ample parking space within the vicinity. There are many multi storey car park and you get to park for free on Sunday. Try to avoid Bishan Place or you maybe stuck in a traffic jam since it is a single lane especially on weekends.
