Hello
It is good that the second issue fixed itself .
The waiters can become tired after a while. It may help to close the restaurant earlier and then test to see if the issue still remains.
OMG, you are really fast. Thank you so much!!
Ok, when I close the restaurant and they start working again, everything goes good. But after a while (7 or 8 hours) they start to slack.
But you know, after that time, they stop taking the meals to the customers and start cleaning and give priority to that instead of the clients.
The restaurant is small, it could be causing that?
Hello.
If there are dirty dishes left on the tables, they may be causing issues. If the issues remain, try dragging them yourself to the waiters station and see if that helps.
With you having a small restaurant, make sure that there are not routing issues caused by walls , plants or other items . Make sure that there are open routes /space for the waiters to walk through to get to the kitchen and tables . The restaurant routing space should be working okay though because your waiters are working well for most of their shift.

OMG, I've read some guides and advices from other simmers, but I didn't know that dirty dishes could cause problems. Checking out the code showed me that the more dirty dishes you have in tables, the more your waiters will want to clean them up. Maybe that's the reason why my waiters start to take care of dishes instead of clients after a while (as you can imagine, after 8 hours opened, your restaurant will have lots of dirty dishes).
In the other hand, I have some tables against walls, I will re-arrange the space and I will post if that works.

Well, after 4 days with my restaurant open I guess I found the problem.
Dirty dishes. When there are too many dirty dishes on your restaurant, the waiters will try to clean them up. The problems is the game make a "test". Everytime the game test the waiters, it'll try to give them a task (Taking orders, picking the food up and cleaning dishes are the most important ones), the mess comes when there are too many dishes and the waiter receive too many orders from the game, so the waiter just stop working. (like normal sims when we give them a lot of orders and they just stand there and just fulfill one)
So, keep the restaurant clean by yourself. In my case that guaranteed that my waiters worked as normal. Keeping at least 1 tile free around a chair and table seemed to work too.

Hello
It is helpful to read the results of your testing It will help other simmers having similar issues.
I downloaded Dine out (and backyard stuff) this evening.
Both have glitched. The content is blank spaces without names, for both the packs.
I have all the other packs and it's never happened before.
Has anyone else had this issue with Dine out? Also the pre made restaurants don't have names.

I don't know whether my problem is due to mods or just the Dine Out pack being buggy. When I hired a chef, all they did was hang out and not cook a meal. Even when I was playing as sims who don't own or work at a restaurant, their meals never got served even after four hours of hanging out at the same restaurant.

Hello @rh2006fan .
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. Check that walls, plants or half walls are not causing routing issues in the kitchen or main dining areas.
Make sure that there is only one tablepiece on the dining 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.

In regards to the dishes it would be extremely helpful if a "clean up dishes" interaction could be added to the waiters station. I find my sim having to clean up dishes 90% of the time, after awhile the wait staff stop doing it. Realistically a fix for waiters would be best, but this would improve overall gameplay.
I just experienced a nasty bug. My restaurant was packed, (I'm using Hogan's Burger Bar). I watched the waitress take the food off of the chef station like she normally does but she put it on the floor and then it disappeared. After that the chef didn't put anymore orders up and I had customers waiting for food. I even had a table that had their food but were getting mad because of the long wait times. I was going to give them a free dessert but it said I had to wait until they received their food to do this. This was after a night where I just upped the prices, added higher tiers of food, the waitress dropped trays 3 - 4 times and a customer kicked over my garbage can. I found myself yelling, "Shut it down!", at the screen.
I have no mods installed if that helps.

Hello
I am sorry that you had this issue occur in your game There has been other simmers too who have had the issue with the waiter putting food on the floor, then it disappears , and it causes issues for the rest of shift. One workaround is to close the restaurant straightaway if it occurs to try to avoid negative reviews from the diners that are still there.
I hope that the issue doesn't occur again in your game.
It may be best to place the garbage can inside a locked door.

Thanks for the reply Rose! Good to know its a known issue. Next time I will recognize it and close the restaurant down right away. Good idea about putting the garbage behind a locked door. I already had to lock the kitchen to all but staff because customers were going in there...one even microwaved a pastry and then left it there for me to throw away.
So I have a new one to report, just randomly started happening. When I go visit a restaurant the staff changes now, like one of the chefs is supposed to be there and another is a randomly generated Sim or another time it was the hostess that changed. Now this wasnt happening 100% before, for example there were times I'd go to a restaurant and there would be random new Sims on staff but the actual staff members spawned too and the new Sims disappeared into Simblivion lol its just frustrating because I make sure I get my staff's skills maxed out so my other Sims can enjoy fine cuisine. But when a random Sim is added and takes over, the skills do not so I get a bunch of bad quality meals cause the newbie can't handle the dishes my trained Sim's can

Hello
The previous employees may have been culled, so the game needed to replace them. To avoid this occurring, you will need to go to manage households and place the employees into their own home. Don't play the household.
