I love the idea of a home business! I made a small apartment above my restaurant. The doors are locked allowing access only to the household.
Everything is fine except for a few annoying quirks;
- My sims cant cook without being told off as being inappropriate. even at closing hours.... So what i'd usually do is lock one sim in the apartment and let him cook a batch of food to last a few days....but then the angry household members would be screaming at the door LOL
- It seems that more than 1 sim managing the restaurant would always end up in a horrible result. They'd start chatting up customers and waiters and cooks..... customers pause from getting seated and staff would stop working and while the wages roll in and end up in negative profits everyday.
- no dining table can be put inside the apartment (did an island bar instead) because the game would recognize it as a restaurant table and try to seat customers there... resulting in unseated customers just standing outside the apartment door...
Happiness!

It's great for bills too!
I haven't though about the kitchen island for eating, that is a good solution, I'll try that out.
As for the more than one sim managing the restaurant, you are right, it becomes a mess.
What I decided to do is have one of them writing or programming or doing something that'll bring simoleons home while the other manages the business.
Now the couple is expecting a baby and I'm nervous to see how everything is going to work with a lid living upstairs the restaurant too.
Do you have kids in yours?

omg! i'm nervous about having a baby too! i'm worried the child would get too distracted with all the business going on downstairs!
My only issue is her social is difficult to keep up. But yeah, other than that, nothing!

I think I've avoided that by mostly WORKING while the restaurant is open- LOL! I'm usually busy welcoming people and helping clear tables ect. I make my sim wait until after it's closed to eat. So, no inappropriate behavior... yet!
I built a shower in the public restroom for my owner to use, lol.
I've had this scenario and got kicked out then the kitchen just disappeared like you couldn't see in it until I went back into manage worlds again and then went back into my household and then traveled back to the business and then the kitchen reappeared again, so it is possible to live there but with hassles!
That's one area to me where they just really dropped the ball with Dine Out.
What is that monstrosity of a building in the background???
I really do hope we could set our household as the restaurant staff in the future! I'm sure that wouldnt be too hard to do(??)
