Hello EA Team,

thanks for your help! I will upload a save when I am back home tomorrow.

The waiters always start to clean up the dishes but they often cancel the action before they reach the waiter station or the dish washer. They put the dirty plates on a table or on the ground.

I am not 100 % sure about the reason, but it looks like the waiters always cancel the action when the cooks have finished a new meal. If the waiters are elders, it seems that also the "back pain animation" triggers the bug.

The "interrupted plates" are then ignored. The only way to get rid of them is to go to build mode and delete them.

Hi @SimGuruIcarus

Here comes the save about the dish washing problem. The best restaurant to test this is the "Tasty Crab" in Brindleton Bay 🙂

      Looks like I fixed the issue by removing the dishwashing machine from the kitchen. Will do further testing.

        Removing the dishwasher improved the situation a lot, but it still occasionally happens. I observed that for ever ignored dishes only occur outside on tables on the restaurant terrace. Inside the restaurant they will be cleaned by the other waiter after some time.
