Delicious: Emily's Holiday Season is a time management game in which you prepare food and serve it to customers. This game contains an excellent tutorial at the beginning of the first level. If you are an experienced player of the Delicious games, you can skip it, but I advise players less familiar with the Delicious games to play through it. Game hints are also provided, to explain new features. These can be turned off in the settings menu.
Note about exiting the game: For some reason, the only way to exit this game is from the menu while playing a level. If you want to exit from the calendar screen, you will need to hit escape, which puts the game in a smaller window, then hit the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the game screen.
Customers order food and pay for it. When a customer is waiting to pay you will see an image of bills and coins; the coins represent the tip. The higher the customer happiness, the greater the tip. Unfortunately, the customers don't have happiness levels shown by a number of hearts next to them as many other games do, so you have to pay attention to customer facial expressions to know how they are feeling. You will know if a customer has maximum happiness (is ecstatic) because there will be a pulsing heart next to his head. If a customer is angry, his face becomes red. If he becomes furious it is shown by a storm cloud; a furious customer needs to be served immediately or he will leave and you will be penalized -50. .Customers will become impatient and pay lower tips if they have to wait in line behind other customers for too long.
When a customer arrives at the counter to pay, a thought bubble will show a stack of money and a stack of coins. The coins are the tip amount; as a customer decreases in happiness the tip amount will decrease as well.
There is also a rare chance of getting a +60 bonus for checking out four customers at a time. This can only happen in the hotel, when you have a customer getting mail, one getting a key, and two checking out for food.
There is also a +11 bonus for "Two of a Kind", which means checking out or serving two of the same type of customers in a row,
Entertainers become available eventually in each restaurant. To use an entertainer, click on the entertainer and then the table you want the entertainer to visit. The entertainer will entertain for a few seconds and then that table will gain a heart; you will hear a particular sound that signals that happiness has been gained. Using an entertainer will not prevent a customer from losing a heart.Tip: Using an entertainer is especially helpful when you have a table waiting at the cash register so that you can have two or three tables pay at the same time for the bonus.
Carl the mouse will appear in each level. He appears for a few seconds,
and you'll know he is there by the chittery-mousy sound that happens each time he shows up. You will be rewarded +100 for clicking on him. If you don't find him right away, he will continue to come back until the end of the level. A screenshot has been provided for each level to show the mouse location.
Decorations can be purchased in the shop. You earn $100 for completing the level with the target score and another $100 for completing it with an expert score. There is a different shop for each restaurant. There is a description for each decoration which will tell you what bonus is gained from using it.
Buying all the decorations will earn the trophy "the Master Decorator".
Tip: Save your decoration money through the first restaurant, as you won't really need upgrades during this restaurant. Then, you'll be able to purchase all the decorations for the second restaurant at the beginning.
Doing the same action twice or three times in a row (chaining) will help you achieve higher scores.
Chains can be earned by having two orders prepared on your tray, and serving them to the customers without an interruption* to do another task. Serving two customers gets you the a bonus of +11. Unlike other Delicious games, you do not get an extra bonus for serving three in a row.
*Serving customer orders can be interrupted by using the cash register, and the chain will not be broken.
Chaining can also occur when using the cash register. When you check out two customers at the same time, you get a combo bonus for +11, three customers together give a bonus of +20. Note that this is not two customers in a row, but rather at the same time. When customers are ready to pay, they will stand at the counter; wait until you have two or three waiting to pay and one click of the cash register will take care of them all at once.

I can not get "the planner" trophy for the life of me.. I have tried to do it as the tip told me but I have to be doing something wrong.. Here's what I've been doing:
ReplyDeleteAs Emily's cleaning the boiled over pots, I made 10 or more candles, didn't work. Then I did the same thing but erased candles as she was making them, didn't work :(
Sorry it's not working for you! Have you been doing it on Day 4 of the Winter Fair? That's the day I've always used and the method, which you're doing, is what I've always done. The only thing I can suggest is maybe doing some chestnuts, too. Wish I could help more!
DeleteAre you on Mac? I wonder if they never did the update for Mac. I can't get it either and pretty sure I queued 10 actions.
DeleteI use a PC. The only way I succeeded was on the Winter Fair Day 4. Just keep queueing up candles is all I can suggest! So sorry!
DeleteTo queue...I played level 2 in the hotel (first round), let the cranberry sauce overboil and while fixing it I just pressed 10 chocalate cakes...it worked ....
DeleteI let the hot chocolate boil over then did the candy canes 10 times.
Delete
