An important part of Cafe World is knowing how much time it takes for your food to spoil after it is finished. There’s nothing more frustrating than missing your serving window and logging in to see that your prize dish was sitting on the stovetop for just a little too long. Fortunately, due to some really good detective work in the Cafe World forums the answer is here. This is the formula:

Serving Window = Cooking Time X 1.2

In other words, if your dish takes 60 minutes to cook, you’ll have 72 minutes (60 x 1.2) to serve it before it spoils. Knowing this information will help you plan your Cafe World cooking strategy!
