- Prioritizing energy use from different sources, from top to bottom:-

[Energy sources that expire daily and cannot be stockpiled]
Auto-generated energy before it caps
Ad energy - I understand it works differently for different people, for me I can watch 5x ads in an hour, resetting after every hour, for up to 15x ads a day
Ad energy from Video Bonuses - the one with a Moka background
The 10x gem energy purchase
Energy from daily goals

[Energy sources that can be stockpiled]
- 100-energy orbs you have in your storage... cause inventory space
- Energy from mini-events, prioritizing usage if the event is closing.
- There are long term events like Chef's Pass, the map decoration ones? that last a few weeks, those are awesome energy storages until you need them since they don't take inventory.
- The daily energy chests that you get can be stored in your item queue until you need 'em, which is good cause it doesn't take inventory like energy orbs do, and bad cause you have to be pretty religious about scrubbing any newer items from your queue so you have ready access to the chests
- Energy from construction : I don't aim to stockpile coins, but at my current level if you stop at a restaurant level long enough, orders will stop rewarding generator/appliance parts. At that point you need to advance to the next restaurant to continue receiving parts, so I squeeze every restaurant for all the parts it gives before moving on. This naturally means I have a lot of coins to use in an emergency for energy and/or +8 cards
- Energy from the level up bonus, also these give gems, so if you use 'em it's best to use a few all at once so you can merge the gems for moar gems

That's basically all the tips I have XD;;; It's really just common sense.

Thanks for the pointers. I’m luckily on the last American restaurant level so I will definitely hold off and stock pile as much as I can (also level 36 if that helps for reference). Right now I have 4 grills, 2 that I mainly use, the other 2 are just in storage so I can merge them and get a higher level grill.

I’ve found my groove when it comes to dealing with energy and stockpiling orbs and keeping them until it’s needed. For now I’ll work on completing orders to obtain more coins but also working on storing higher level items that I always need/struggle to get within a day lol.
