Don't get me wrong I do love this new game pack however there could have been more... For example.
1: The household can do jobs of the host, waiter and cook.
2: The household could place 'placemats' for the children.
3: Throw/kick someone out.
4: Birthdays - Lights dimmer and employees sing "happy birthday".
5: The option to serve the meal to paying customers. Sometimes Waiters don't until last minute.
There were more however I have forgot about them, I shall add more one I get those back. What about you...do you wish they added something?

1 is what I really need XD Especially for the chef sims!
Yes , the Nectar. I miss those in Sims3. Why don't they bring back as a collectible for my Sims. I really miss i have a bottle of Nectar cost over $10,000 in my sims 3 inventory before. This is really big missing part.
By that I mean:
-Hire more staff (especially hosts. please!)
-Control said staff a bit more, eg. set the order in which tables are given out
-Set their work zones (areas they attend to), so you don't have sims running from one side of the restaurant to the other, or up/down stairs.
-The things you suggested, especially #1.
Right now it's really difficult to be efficient with anything bigger than a typical cute little corner bistro.
I built a large restaurant on a 50x40 lot, with two patio areas. I had to block off the entire second floor and the outdoor tables just because it took the waiters too long to take care of the customers. Was getting awful reviews due to the wait times, and losing a few thousand simoleons every day. Seriously, how DO you make a profit??
Have you tried maybe adding a waiter station and a chef station to each of the floors of your restaurant? I haven't personally tried it but if they are struggling to manage, just a suggestion worth trying (if you haven't already tried it).
This is the feedback from my restaurant:
and my restaurant is quite small compared with a few i've seen (heres the above view of my restaurant which I got the design from the gallery, but refurbished it and redesigned it for my Sims restaurant).
As you can see I only have 9 tables.
It's all about getting the perks and scaling up the prices to around 200%.
I think the developers integrated it, they just didn't do it properly - you can choose restaurants as a club hangout, so they did not forget about Get Together, and one of the club functions are "eat". But as you've pointed out, "eat" is not sufficient to getting them to order a table as a club in restaurants. I guess the developers didn't test it properly! Unfortunate
I would love more control over the staff. Being able to send them home without the need to close the restaurant or call them in mid shift, so we could rotate them. Send the host home after we don't allow new customers in or have her-him help the waiting staff. Also being able as the manager to take some orders or sit some people for example, it doesn't have to be everything but just a couple of more interactions so we don't stand around doing nothing while the place collapses
