Hints

I was thinking, this game can't really have a walkthru... so maybe people could post hints here...

Upgrades are important.
- Flowers, table cloths keep people happier longer I think.
- Straws, mini umbrellas for icecreams add money to what customers pay. I add these when things are quieter.
- Monkey upgrades like music box and juggling balls are great. I have both and when things are going crazy and theres lots of blue thought bubbles, I click both.
- I get mixed up easily and can't multitask... (hey, I'm a bloke) lol so...
If there are a lot of customers, I simply start on the left and work my way down and then to the right order by order. As they start getting to the plate, I click the monkey and click all tables. That way I don't have to work out which goes where. If you do this though click the tables where customers are angriest. Sometimes I have had a new customer make the same order as an angry customer and the monkey drops his icecream off to the new customer if I've clicked his table 1st.
- Quieter times I refill containers. I don't wait till they are empty if I can help it because when things get crazy it's handy to have full containers.
- I haven't bought the monkeys apples or anything because I find they aren't slower than Anna anyway.

I was wondering if there is a way to speed up my boy monkey?
He is soooo slow putting things on the tray!
I click the fast button on the belt and they are all piling up waiting
for him to put them on the tray!

don't think you can speed up the boy monkey.
* you get extra dollars by serving two or more customers at the same table at the same time. So, when possible, concentrate on making ice creams for one table at a time
* the girl monkey can pick up trash from many tables without needing to visit the garbage station in between. no need ever to click on the garbage station actually. she takes care of that by her self.
* you don't need to put cherries or sprinkles back on the table after using them. anna does that by her self.

I've made some further progress in the game

maybe this one is already explained in the game (i tend to close those balloons the moment they pop up....)
* Ice creams containing a flavor that you got through the flavor contest seems to be worth a lot more than those with "standard" flavors. But it only lasts until you enter the next area of the island :-( So be sure to pickup the golden ice creams

* a customer's second order always comes with a tip (cash). so even if a customer's mood is pretty high (light blue cloud) I often serve a cookie or some lemonade right before delivering the ice cream. that makes the customer more likely to make a second order.

* never pick up trash from the tables when the time's up, no more customers will enter anyway.
