Back on the original question, content like this can be placed on residential lots but even on the front lawn other sims won't "see" and be able to purchase from it unless they are lot greeted -- so they would have to be invited over (and invited in), you would have to throw a lot of parties, or use Inge's
Ticket Machine mod to draw customers in.
I have some of these, the modded versions of course, to sell baked goods and souvenirs on a huge residential I use as an entertainment complex with meals and overnight lodging offered -- but this setup pre-dates IP and Resorts so my sims do have to invite their paying guests to spend the night as needed. The rest I use on community lots so I don't have to chase potential customers down and some of them actually sell only produce.
