Selling Food in Businesses & Hobbies

It's been 2 months with no response, bruh.

Yes you have to make the food and put in the shelves for customers, I think you can also have your employees make food without eating it but they will not put it on the shelves, theyll put it in a fridge (if there is one) or a counter/table (if there is no fridge) so youll still have to move it.

Also there is the new cafe counter, which sells coffee and tea, Im not sure if it also sells food but I think it does, just get an employee to manage it and the customers will order there.

I placed one of each counter that sells food and drinks, but I also wanted to sell proper meals in there. So I have to just make sure I cook them myself or an employee cooks them and then put them in the shelves myself?

Yes, either play as the owner and place the food on the shelves yourself (I also first have my sim "pick up serving" repeatedly to split it into individual servings), or if you want to be able to play as the customer, set it up buffet style - have an entrance fee, then just assign the employees to cook and let Sims who have paid the entrance fee help themselves from wherever it gets put down.

Thank you for the tip ^^
