In order to achieve what you want to in Cafe World it is good to understand what your strategic objectives are. Your strategic objectives could vary for instance earning the most Coins on your neighbour list or having the highest number of Cafe Points on your list meaning you are in the first position.
Whatever your objectives are you are going to need a strategy to support it so in simple terms your objective is what you want to achieve with the game and your strategy is how you go about achieving it.
You shouldn't ignore the 2 key objectives in Cafe World, which is to earn as much Coins as possible and to Level up as quickly as possible. Achieving these two things will make your Cafe a success so it is important that you use the correct strategy.
The first objective otherwise known as Leveling up is achieve by earning as many Cafe Points as possible mainly from preparing and serving food. There are a number of methods for earning Cafe Points such as winning them on Scratch Cards. By earning Cafe Points it will allow you to progress to the next level. In order to get to the next level after that you might have to earn even more Cafe Points.
Cafe Points can be earned in a number of ways predominantly from preparing dishes, so a high value dish in terms of Cafe Points would be Grand Tandoori Chicken which earns 420 Cafe Points. You can also earn Cafe Points from visiting neighbors and doing eat missions.
The second objective is earning coins from your customers. This is gained from the dishes you serve which you get paid for. For this objective a strategy of cooking dishes that return a lot of Coins per dish would be the best to adopt like the VIP Dinner for instance which earns 99 Coins per Customer.
You could start off in the game having a strategy of earning as much Coins as you can. This will help when you need to buy things as you progress. When you feel you have enough Coins saved up, you can always change to the other strategy so you're earning more Cafe Points and progressing through the levels quicker.
You don't have to stick to a particular strategy and can change strategies when you want. You should understand however that the strategy you choose will govern what dishes you cook as some dishes are better for earning Coins and others are better for earning Cafe Points.
Your strategic objectives are important in Cafe World and the sooner you work out what they are the better. The strategy you choose initially might not work out for you but you can always change it. Having the wrong strategy isn't the end of the world and as long as your learning which strategy to adopt and when, that's the main thing.
