For example

You can acquire more ingredients by buying them from the store, it's the button with the cash on it. There's also the 3 ingredients you get just by logging in consecutively..like the item on the lottery wheel in pet society.
You can also attempt the daily food quiz, get it right, get an ingredient.
Sometimes, the RC fan page will give out free ingredients.
Sometimes the game will show that you will have a free ingredient to claim, that will be on the left side.

New items/maintenance is usually on tuesdays, sometimes wednesdays.

The lounge bar is obtained by royaling(level 10) Coco Colada. Once you royal it, this means you have given 10 of each of the needed ingredients, you will find the lounge bar in your inventory.

Levelling up a dish let's you gain more gp per dish. I believe level 10 is 5.5xp per dish. The higher the level, the higher the xp payout. However, the amount you get per dish is still the same, 2 dollars each.

If you find the gourmet king, the guy on the left, he is like hideeni. He will let you choose what to share. Here is an example:

It's one at a time, it's like having two houses in pet society. You can only visit one at a time. So, this way, you can have for example, layer 1 to be japanese, and layer 2 to be lounge bar. So you can switch between the two designs anytime you want to.

[Mangoberri 0]

You can trade with friends Falcor, some people have unlocked ingredients and the stars are for that purpose, if you find a friend with unlocked and you want that ingredient you have to trade with one of yours that has the exact number of stars, if it is locked a "request" is send and the friend will have to accept

Visit ALL your friend restaurants, first time will be to get the ingredient, and next times to help with problems (once a day) and gain coins and experience to level up

Send trades to me whenever you want, right now we all are looking for mint, since its a very hard ingredient to obtain
