I don't understand why they made it so you can't use it on other lots. Is it really that hard to code in?

Considering they were able to do it in the Sims 2, I would say no. In the meantime, littlemisssam has a mod that gives you the option to have employees automatically spawn with the lot trait equipped. I don't think it's been updated for cafeterias yet, but for everything else it works quite nicely.
