Restaurants!

I would like to put out the idea of allowing a sim to own and run their own restaurant. I think it would be wonderful for that sim who has built up their cooking skills and have already reached the top of the restaurant job to be able to actually buy a lot where there is an empty building and turn it into a restaurant of their own.
With this you would be able to do the following things:
-Decorate the restaurant as you see fit; Asian, Italian, Chinese, Cafe, etc.
-Choose your own menu options; prices, dessert options, and main courses
-Experiment option; come up with a new and exciting twist on dishes that we all know and love. Also with the "experiment" option there would be about 10 dishes that are considered secret that after many attempts/fails you would come up with these dishes over time that would increase the reputation of your restaurant.
What is even better is you would be able to control your sim. The order would come in and they would then be able to cook the meal and have the waitress or waiter serve the meal to the customer. There are issues that can arise as well, such as the customer being unhappy with the dish, the waitress or waiter not doing their job properly so it would be the job of the controlled sim to take care of these issues. There may be a box that pops up and says that the waitress has been talking on her cell for in the corner and how would you like to handle this situation...blah blah blah. What do you guys think???????

1 - Pick an empty lot, change it to community, and select "hangout".
2 - Decorate the lot to your liking.
3 - You may have noticed that you can't place a stove, telephone, microwave, and a few other objects in your community lot. Use the short guide below for how to place them.

With the World Adventures Expansion, you can place a food register, I'm not sure if other Sims will come to buy food, but there's usually always people there. You could make the food in the kitchen (or where ever you cook the food, or bring from home, if you'd like) and serve the people, or serve the food somewhere, people are bound to eat it. Basically the simulation of a restaurant.
If you play without cheats like motherlode and kaching, a decent restaurant will cost around 100,000 simoleons to buy out. (won't actually be worth 100,000 simoleons, but they raise the price to buy it for some reason. So Make sure your sim has atleast 100,000 before making, and planning to buy the restaurant you create. Hope I helped
I particularly like this idea:
I don't think I've seen this idea before and it sounds new and fun.
Can I offer some advice for your thread? When you write all your ideas in one big paragraph as you did, some people find it quite hard to read, and others just skim read to get the gist of your idea without reading the details. Try editing your first post and spacing out your ideas to make them clearer and easier to read.
AmistadStar and Natsky... great advice! I can't wait to try that! I'd still love for it to be done properly though, especially with the romantic interactions like stealing food of each other's plates and proposing at the table. I think it would be fun to have the option to skip out on the bill too, and if you get caught you have to wash the dishes.
Thanks so much for the wonderful advice. I don't post much here on the forums, however, yesterday I was playing with my sim who is an AMAZING cook. She recently became a vampire and this has expanded her lifespan greatly. She has already maxed out the cooking career and now she has no reason to use her AMAZING cooking skills anymore. With this I starting thinking about how wonderful it would be to own a restaurant!
I am going to go through and re-do my post in the section that you mentioned and see if I might get some better hits. I would love for you to re-post the ideas that you loved from mine. I honestly just want to see this happen because it will really make the game that much better.
Ha! The poor vampire! Making all that yummy food and not being able to eat it! Hmmm... if there were more plasma fruit recipies, she could make a restaurant targeted at vampires! Plasma nectar and a vampire professional bar would be good too. :twisted:
That is an amazing idea! Make it only open in the evening-early morning hours so that the vampires who are not immortal can still go to the restaurant without suffering a really horrible sunburn.
And the opening post is better too.
Thanks
