How to trap your waiter (aka: teleporting dishes)
This technique goes thru dishes pretty fast, and is good for quickly clearing counters.
1. Remove all your tables from your restaurant so no customers come in.
2. Make note of where your waiters default idle position is. It's usually 6 spaces from the end of the path where customers come in.
3. Once you find his idle position, build a box around him using counters and deco. Make sure the box is completely enclosed around your waiter. It's best to give him some room so you can expand as needed later on.
4. Put your tables back in your restaurant.
5. Your waiter will now throw dishes at customers no matter how far away they are without walking to them. You still get credit for coins and he serves like normal.
You can trap him in other areas if you like, however everytime you log in he returns to his idle position, so building around his idle position ensures he'll be trapped on every login.
