Re: Re: Sims™ 4 "Dine Out" BUGS WITH RESTAURANT TABLE.

@sallakat Okay, I have placed and run your restaurant and have some feedback...

• I really like your restaurant! The design is interesting and very attractive.
• The Old Salt lot location is a great one for a restaurant!

Issues & fixes:

• With the host station in the position you had it, the host cannot fully interact with the customers, so he was not seating them.
  
• As soon as I moved the host station (and the plant) so the customers can interact with the host properly, the host began seating them as expected immediately:
  
• I also found that my owner Sim went and sat down at one of the tables, but it was only because the seat was not attached to function at the table properly. (I tried and the seats will not snap to the outer area of the table so they need to be removed. There is a chance they would block or interfere with customer table use, and random Sims or non-customers may sit in them and cause issues.)
  

Suggestions: 

• This is a fantastic location for a few outdoor tables on the waterfront/back yard. Customers will love these in good weather. (Heck, they'll probably be happy to eat there, with the umbrellas & heaters, in weather that's crazy for outdoor eating! - Mine always love that type of table location.) Just add umbrellas over the tables and heaters.
• I have had issues before with customers entering the kitchen and getting in the way. You may want to add a wall or fencing with a gate or door in this area:
  
• Just so you are aware, this it the only area with tables that will qualify for customer seating for meals:
  
• Though this area has one of the type of booth seats you can use for tables, the table in front of it is more a 'side table' and will not function with the seats to provide customer eating seating:
  
• If you are having too many issues after this with 'partying' Sims or other shenanigans on your lot that interfere with your restaurant, you may want to change out the lot trait you have:
  
• Your Sims should be able to grab food from the fridge and eat at the bar or those seating areas on the top floor, since they don't qualify as customer table seating.
