I wanted my sims to eat at a restaurant but the restaurant lot was unavailable. Why is that, I just want my couple to have a nice night out before she gives birth to her child.

Hello @SimmingFerLife
I am just checking that you have placed restaurants from your library into the game?
Was it a particular restaurant that they couldn't dine at or all restaurants? When you go to Manage Worlds, is the restaurant there?
If it is a particular restaurant, try going into build mode and make sure that they have required items to be classed as a restaurant. The bulld needs to have at least :
1 Toilet
1 Sink
4 Dining Spots (Tables/chairs )
1 Chef Station
1 Waiter Station
1 Host Station
@rosemow It does have the things needed for a restaurant and when I go to manage world is does say it's a restaurant. I didn't check if it was all and thank you!!

Is the restaurant a maxis restaurant? Could you please explain what happens when you try to dine there? Are you unable to travel there?
If you still have issues with dining at the restaurant, go to the lot and replace the venue with the version of the restaurant that you have in your library. Then see if that helps the issue.
I just recently bought Dine Out game pack and bought a restaurant. Everything is running smoothly. My employees show up on time. The customers show up, eat, sometimes get a drink and be about their merry way. I only have one serious issue ...
My waiters will NOT use the bathroom. I had one waiter peed herself. I don't even have the option to let them leave early. Am I the only one having this problem ? My restaurant is on point and I'm not trying to destroy it because my waiting staff refuses to relieve themselves ...

Hello
Try making sure that there are no routing issues for the waiters to get to the bathroom. Make sure no walls or plants are causing access issues. Check that they are not behind locked doors.Perhaps try changing where the bathroom is located in the restaurant.
I hope that may help.
I was *FINALLY* able to have a shift that got everyone done before the employees started to complain about the long hours. I disallowed new customers after the second hour although at hour 7 a new one was seated. I got rid of all of my 2 top because I noticed that families of 6 were eating 2 people at a time because they were getting seated at a table too small for the party size. I now have four 8 tops and four 6 tops and no booths and I got rid of the bar. With those changes I was able to close at hour 9 just before 2 new ones walked in.
So my 3 to report:
Locking doors for everyone but my sim is disregarded by the employees.
Families need to be seated at tables appropriate to the overall party size.
Disallow needs to be absolute
I also noticed my married sim is now randomly giving enchanting introductions at the restaurant. I don't know if that is new to DO or just a new overall annoyance to the game.
Wish list:
Giving breaks to employees
Playable Sim able to perform restaurant tasks
Live music that doesn't slow things down even further.
I'm having some of the same issues as some others.
Random bug where the waitress will just stop working. Only happens sometimes.
I have no bar, or any entertainment and my diners will take ages to get seated and stand round and talk - they will group in the bathroom just to talk to my sims. So frustrating
Sims arrive at different times, sometimes well after the others who have already ordered.
Sims get up and talk to each other all the time.
@SimGuruNick I hope you are looking into these bugs.

Hello
I am sorry that you are having these issues also.
Some simmers have found that it has helped to not welcome the diners until they are seated and have already ordered their meals.
I am currently having a game breaking issue where my Wait staff shows up to work but stands around doing absolutely nothing even though there are guests getting impatient and wanting to be waited on. I am repairing the game right now to see if that helps. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hello
I am sorry that you are having this issue,
Try going into build mode in the restaurant and move items around in case they are causing routing issues for the waiters.
Go to the kitchen area 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 and open spaces for the waiter to walk through the room. Make sure that walls, plants or half walls are not causing routing issues.
See if there are dirty dishes on the tables that are stopping waiters from doing their work,and if so, move them yourself to the waiters station.
Try paying for training of the waiters. Use the praise and criticise interactions. Buy the inspirational speech perk and see if that helps.
Perhaps try firing these waiters and hire new ones, and see if that helps the issue.
When renovating the restaurant all of the employees are lost. I have to get new employees and start building their skills. I don't thing this is culling, since I placed all of my workers on the world where the restaurant is located. Reference to culling: sims4.crinrict. com/en/2016/06/restaurant-employees-and-culling/
Any help?

Hello
When you placed the employees into a home in the world, did you play them? If you did, that would cause them to stop being employees.
Try hiring new employees, go to manage households and place them into a home, but don't play them. Then see if the employees remain at your restaurant.
only 7 customers come to my restaurant a day even through i have a 5 star restaurant. what should i do?
Hello
Try reducing the markup on your food and see if that help.
Try paying for the advertising packages and see if that helps to bring in more customers.
Try opening the restaurant at different hours to your current opening hours. Some hours through the day/evening are better than others. Simmers have found that the best time to be open is berween 11am and 9 p.m.
@rosemow Question: As far as the party size, the maximum number in a group I've seen is 3. Are other people getting parties of 6 and 8 at their restaurants?
@rosemow Question: As far as the party size, the maximum number in a group I've seen is 3. Are other people getting parties of 6 and 8 at their restaurants?
Hello.
Many simmers are finding that in their restaurants the maximum number of sims in a group has been 4, with many times less than 4 sims in a group.
What is happening in your game reflects what is happening in other simmmers games,
I have a quick question about party size, are any of you choosing the table yourselves or just leaving it up to the hostess to determine?
Find a table that has the correct number of chairs, or just because you like it and click on that table and choose request table - is this not working for players with large parties?
The disallow only stops further sims from coming to the lot. Customers that are already on the lot or are on the way to the restaurant, will still keep coming though and need to be served.
I haven't played much with done out in a while, so im not sure if my issue has been addressed since I last posted here(about 15 new pages since then), but I'm still having the issue where I can't hire a specific sim for a specific position in my resturaunt. I've tried all the tricks that were being suggested, deleting all other homeless sims, creating clones, etc, but no matter what, it seems impossible to hire this ONE sim as a waitress.

Another option is to try rolling back your save game file to an earlier version, before you removated the restaurant.
These links explain how to do that.
