They are places in which Sims enter, be seated at a table, and order from a large array of meals instead of cooking at home. There must be at least one podium. Hot Date includes two podiums; the Bel- Air Series Podium, which is made to look like something from a 1.
Gastronomer Restaurant Podium, which is made to look upscale. Each podium will spawn a waiter or waitress. With a cheap podium, the waiter or waitress will stand at the podium and seat diners, but an expensive podium will also spawn a maitre d', who will do this. The Sims will need somewhere to sit, so there needs to be dining booths and/or dining tables and chairs. These must be in the same room as the podium(s), or Sims will not be seated. Any type of refrigerator can be used, but its quality will affect the hunger value of the food.
There should be as many stoves as there are podiums, as each podium will spawn a chef. Any type of stove can be used, and they don't all have to be the same. There should also be enough counter space for the chef(s) to prepare the food, and to hold the finished meals. Finally, there should be a sink and/or dishwasher, and a trash can and/or trash compactor. Due to the way objects work in The Sims, recolors of Maxis objects are separate objects, so recolored items should not be used. The player will have three choices; the type of podium will affect the names and prices of the meals, but not the content. The cheapest choice is just a salad, the second choice is a salad followed by a plate of steak and beans, and the most expensive choice adds a dessert.
Once the active Sim reaches the podium and places the order, he or she will be charged the appropriate amount, so it is not possible to skip out on a bill. The Sim(s) will then be seated, and the order will be taken to a chef.
The chef will prepare the food and place it on a counter. Eventually, a waiter will pick it up and take it to the Sim(s).
After the food has been eaten, a busboy will clear the empty plates and take them to the sink or dishwasher. If a two or three course meal was ordered, each additional course will be prepared after the plates for the previous course have been cleared.

If a Sim does not have a group, he or she will eat alone. If there isn't a table large enough to hold all members of a group, it will be split up to 2 tables. The player cannot choose which table a Sim will eat at. The host will usually seat them at the nearest available table. The food in the thought bubble indicates which food that Sim would like to eat. When the server reaches the table, the player can click on the server to order. Sims can order preset meals on the menu, along with a few extra dishes that are unique to restaurants.
The player can choose the meals for each individual Sim in the group while ordering, or simply choose . When on a date, if the player can order what their date would like to eat, a bonus will be added to the date score. The chef no longer prepares each meal separately.
Instead, the server takes the order to the kitchen, and shortly afterward returns to the table or counter with a large covered platter. When this is uncovered, it will contain all the meals that were ordered by Sims at that table. This means that kitchens can be smaller, since they do not need to have refrigerators or places for the chef to put finished meals. A server works 7 tables, so if a restaurant contains 8 tables, the game will spawn 2 servers. Additional servers will also be spawned for each host podium. After the Sims are done eating, the player can simply click on the podium or host and select .
The bill will automatically be paid if the Sims leave without paying. If they don't have enough money to pay the bill, it will be added to the Sims' household bill the next time it arrives.

The host can detect runaway Sims within a 3- tile distance, which means they can spot Sims even if they're hiding in a restroom, if they are too close to the door. Sims may have a better chance of escaping if they own a car, in which they can simply drive off the lot rather than waiting for the taxi.
With Bon Voyage or later, Sims can also simply walk off the lot, which is also faster than a taxi. If Sims are friends with the host, he or she will be likely to comp their bill, partially or wholly. On the other hand, being friends with the server has no direct benefits.

This includes Three Lakes Plaza and Twikkii Beach Hotel. Restaurants in hotels have a few differences from restaurants elsewhere. Sims cannot skip out on the bill, and only tables that are in the same room as the podium are used for dining. Restaurant features are not carried forward into Bon Voyage.

These positions must be filled by members of the owner's household, or by employees. Customers will order while standing near the podium instead of while sitting. They will also have a sales bar while ordering, and sales interactions can be used on them. This, however, can only be done by a manager or a member of the owner's household; an employee cannot be assigned to do it.
Hosts benefit from having a high salesbadge, and servers benefit from having high body skill. The cook's cooking skill should be considered when planning the menu. A restaurant cook can prepare all meals, but will always burn anything that requires more than his or her level cooking skill, and burnt food will damage customer loyalty. Also, a cook with high cooking skill can prepare food much more quickly, and is less likely to burn the food. Sims can eat inside or outside the rabbit hole with someone else, or have a drink.
Diners are open 2. AM to 1. 1 PM. Sims can also wait for dessert while eating inside.

If the player's Sims own the community lot, they can profit from the restaurant. The chef will take order, cook the food, and serve it to the customers.
Note that Sims who are on an outing or dating may not eat at the same table. Children cannot dine out at a restaurant.
Unlike previous games, restaurants appear as a type of lot assignment, rather than an area in a lot. There are no restaurants in The Sims 4: Get to Work, but players can run a bakery instead. When a Sim enters the lot, it will have randomized NPCs serving as host, waiter and chef . However, when a Sim who owns a restaurant enters it, they can take full control over many aspects of running it. Players can see inside the building, and Sims that have entered can be seen and directed.
Sims must enter and go to the Host Station, after which the Host will direct them to a nearby table with at least one chair. Groups of Sims, such as ones on a date, on an outing with friends or on a Club gathering, can be placed together at the same table. Sims can eat more meals if they wish, which will add to their bill. Restaurants can serve any type of food or drinks, but will usually be tied to a certain theme. Only one Sim can be hired as a Host.

However, it is important to check in once in a while to look out for Restaurant Critics.
Customer Satisfaction. Edit. Two customers with their neutral 3 star rating above their heads. See full article: Customer Satisfaction. Making sure the customers are alright is a huge priority in running a Restaurant. Every customer, at the end of their meal when they pay their bill, will leave a review of the Restaurant in a 1- 5 star system. At the end of the day when the Restaurant closes there will be a opportunities for improvement tab in the financial report in which is a survey collected from all the customers opinions on the Restaurant.
All the employees, whether Host, Chef, or Waiter, must be working on the clock and making sure the customers get a good satisfying experience. They are vital in making the Restaurant work as they help make the food, serve the food and help with the customers experience.
