Dine Out Refresh

I would love to be able to hire entertainers or singers for a restaurant, and also give them a uniform. Would also be nice to work in a restaurant as cook or bartender without owning it.

I don't have ideas but I want to add that if the team ever does anything with dineout I hope they don't speed up the restaurant wait time.
Restaurants are meant to be an "experience" and I love that my sims get to experience that. They get to know each other, draw, watch other sims, or do other things I add to the Restaurant as they wait for the food. One of my sims made his proposal to his date before the food came so they even got some romantic time.

I mention this because people always include speeding up wait times as things they want "fixed" in an update or refresh but It's working as intended. They already cut the eating and drinking bites by 90% at players request and sims speed eat their food which I hate hate hate.
I use to have my sim make coffee and relax in the tub as they drink it. Now they drink it two sips and it's gone before they even relax.

Hiring family would definitely be fun. But I would love for sims to do all the active careers with friends and family.

Besides fixing the gameplay and bugs:

• New harvestables in either pots or planters: oregano, thyme, mint and others herbs, so Sims can add a "touch" to their preparations.
  
• Deep fryer and air fryer, to add garrisons like fries or nuggets.
  
• The pizza oven in two variations: industrial steel one and the rustic one from TS3 Store with new bake dishes like pizza and calzonne.
  
• New decoration like wine and oil bottles, sausages and ham leg
  

dine out is in desperate need of an update like spa day. aside from fixing bugs i'd love to see the folllowing:

• new restaurants (including greasy spoon diners and fast food joints)
  
• new cooking items like a hot plater, air fryer, brick oven
  
• new harvestables and receipes
  
• new kitchen/restaurant clutter
  
• part-time jobs: server, host
  
• semi-active careers: cook, chef
  

Even though it's one of the most bugged packs, it's also the most gameplay i get out of any pack, so as someone who loves the concept of Dine Out, it needs a huge refresh. It definitely needs to allow you to:

• become the chef of your own restaurant and maybe you can only set the menu items based on your skill level, or the quality is still affected by your sim's skill levels.
  
• hire family members
  
• allow more task management for employees you hire
  
• set wages
  
• have more drink/food options. maybe expand upon the gourmet food options? I'd love to get more use out of that skill.
  
• More perks for your restaurant to improve it.
  
• allow you to "pass on knowledge" to family members and give them the deeds to the restaurant so they become the new owners when your sims age, just like in The Sims 2.

Deep fryer along with air fryer
Herbs as new harvestables
Restaurant clutter all the way!
Maybe some nectar?

Ok high chairs so toddlers can join and eat maybe even infants. Hot Pot can be added with more variety of food. Entertainment so like we can someone play the piano or violin, have like a celebration when they bring out the cake. Do we even tip the waiters if we don't we need to that's rude.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
