This is my favorite of the Diner Dash game series. I like the additional things that you have to do. It is more fun to have to juggle additional things.
It is actually pretty easy. I was able to get an expert score on all of the levels. In all of the levels the people are served at the counter. As a person earns money he/she gets to purchase additional items to make the customers happier, food to cook faster, even hot sauce for the people to eat faster. You don't have to worry quite as much on this game as compared with the others, where you sit the people (such as a business man next to a cell phone guy, but you still do have to pay attention to that and serve them coffee, etc. Or just wait and not set them next to each other if possible.
I will say this, although this really is my favorite game of the Diner Dash series, I actually went back even after getting expert on every level and perfected it to where I didn't lose any customers either. I was sick with the flu for eight days and didn't have much else to do (just in case you are wondering why I would play a game for so long!). Also, after about the sixth or seventh level of each restaurant (or sooner) I would run out of items to purchase and just accumulated money.
This isn't a big deal to me, but my daughter enjoys changing Flo's clothing and on this game you don't get to choose the clothes she wears. That is not an issue for me but I thought I would mention it in case it is important to someone else.
