How long does it take to eat a three course meal?

The reason I'm asking is because it is taking the waiter a very long time, or the chief to prepare, haven't decided yet, but my sim has been at the restaurant for over 12 sim hours and she is still waiting to get her desert. How long does it take in sim time for a sim to order and eat a three course meal? Personally in real time I like to be in an out of a restaurant in about 2 hours (depending on what is going on). Also do you know if there a mod that addresses this issue?

It shouldn't take as long as 12 hours to have the three course meal. Perhaps try testing by having your sims visit another day and see if the issue remains.
If the issue continues occurring, try having your sims visit a different restaurant and see if the issue remains, , or replace the current restaurant with a version of the same restaurant from your library and see if that helps the issue.
Also, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues.

Take a peek at the Chef the next time this happens, is the Chef doing anything? Or does the Chef seem to just be standing there in some weird loop? This is usually what happens to my game.
Although new restaurants do run poorly as part of their start up routine, over time the workers naturally get better and less fail - but the stuckness will still rear its head from time to time - just exit to hood and reenter the household (which should take you back to the restaurant) fwiw I have seen this occur on other lot types with other attendants, same resolution generally works.
Hello.
It is good that your sims were able to eventually get the food
If you are finding at another time that the food is not being cooked or is not being served, try entering build mode and check that there isn't anything hanging over the chefs station or blocking the shelf on the station that could be causing food cooking or delivery issues.
Make sure that there is only one tablepiece on the tables and that there are no low hanging lights over the tables.
Check that there are clear passages for the waiter to walk through the room.
Check that walls, plants or half walls are not causing routing issues for the waiters .
See if there are dirty dishes on tables that are stopping waiters from doing their work,and if so, move them yourself to the waiters station.

I tried to do the same thing, but the chef became so furious that he died right in the middle of the restaurant!
P.S. Also help feed the hungry, help out when you can, cause many can use the food and items needed to survive, especially in the winter months, thank you.
I have a similar problem. If my Sims order more than a drink and one item, they only get the drink and last item.
For example, if they order a dinner and a dessert, they only get the dessert. If it's an appetizer and dinner, they only get dinner.
Your sims can only order one drink and one food item at a time. You'll have to wait until the first set is served before you can order one drink and one food item again.
I dl'd a really nice restaurant lot recently -- George's beer pub, I believe. I did my cleaning routine in the kitchen then sent my sim family for dinner. It worked like a charm. Four sims, starting at roughly 7PM, order drinks and main course, drinks again with dessert, and they were done by roughly 11:30 PM. (That time includes time spent chatting.) It was a really great improvement. Restaurants are actually fun now.
I am also putting 2 chef stations in my restaurants - however I wish a Dining Out update would provide a multiple chef station (2-3) designed to accommodate the waiters. My waiters walk through the chef stations.
