UPDATE: LiveStream replay can be found here - https://twitch.tv/thesims/v/70329065
Ideally it would be best to watch the Twitch replay (on your PC / Mac rather than mobile) as Twitch has a new feature where the chat will now replay with the full conversation of when the stream started to when it ended which will enable you to see questions we answered in chat that may not have been answered in the video.
Hey everyone!
By now you will have seen that we will be doing a live stream this Friday at 1PM PDT on our
Twitch Channel focused around The Sims 4 Dine Out Game Pack and more specifically around owning /running a restaurant. The stream will be hosted by SimGuruNinja, SimGuruHolms, and SimGuruMegs.
I wanted to give you the opportunity to get your questions in so if you have questions about the pack please ask them below and we will try to get as many answered as possible during the stream.
Questions should be focused on the Game Pack (any questions regarding future content will not be answered as this is focused on Dine Out specifically.)
Hope to see you in stream chat on Friday!

Hi Gurus!
Is there a chance that if our Sims meet the requirements of the role (eg. chef) will they come up as potential staff options, or are staff only avaliable outside the family?
Is there any chance that a Sim that lives in-game be able to work as an NPC (like Bob Pancakes often works as a Bartender) will be appointed to work and actually keep the job if the player decides to play as them, or will they lose that job and it's generated to another Townie?
Thanks Guys!

1- Will having a Cafe area bring any profit to the restaurant? Will we be able to assign an employee to work as a barista?
2- Are there any new tattoos in this pack. And if not, could you please add new ones soon? I am in urgent need of more variety and I don't use CC.
Thanks!
All my creations are CC free.
Can more than one Sim visit the lot when they run it?
Will restaurants run like active careers, normal careers, clubs, or like retail lots?
Do fish get used for cooking directly from the aquarium, or do we have to transfer them to the fridge first? Or are the fish in the aquariums separate from ingredients and just for décor?
When we visit restaurants as a customer, do we (the players) decide the rating at the end, or is it calculated automatically on how much our sims enjoyed it? (Thinking of the ability to sabotage rivals)
Can you add fish to the aquarium windows?
Can you add your own fish to the aquariums?
Are there any new fish to catch?
Any new table romantic interactions other then feed a bite?
Any new woohoo locations?
Would you mind showing some of the premade restaurants?
1. Can you tell a bit more on the restaurant in 0:04 in this video. It looks like a food stall rather than a restaurant. How does it work?
2. Is a restaurant staff like waiters and a chef spawn if the restaurant equipments are put on other community lots like a park or a museum?
When my sim owns a restaurant and I switch households to visit that restaurant, will those sims see the other sims running that restaurant? Sounds confusing, but I hope I explained it right.
Can we appoint a manager and do they have to meet skill requirements.
What does franchising mean? Ie owning lots of resturants and how do they operate if the manager is at another one.
Are there skills for employees and or managers
Who owns the resturant - the family or individual, can any family member be the manager from day to day
Will the npc reviewer and ratings be added to retail.
Are there new romantic interactions other than feed a bite.
How does the bar work within a restaurant? If you own the restaurant, do you earn money from bar drinks?
Are we getting lasagna as a new recipe?
