Can Restaurants Even Be Profitable?
I finally got around to playing around with owning a restaurant but i feel like having a profitable one is next to impossible. No matter how much i praise or criticize or promote, meals go to the tab...

I haven't played as a restaurant owner in ages. But when I did I had a very profitable restaurant following tips that have already been mentioned in this thread.
But I quit playing restaurants as the musical chairs was driving me nuts. Sims wouldn't stay seated long enough for a waiter/waitress to take their order & customers only wanted to socialize. I'm not sure if that has been fixed or not, but my restaurants became unprofitable quickly when the musical chairs started happening.
I noticed this tends to get really bad if all the tables are really close together with no dividers or walls to keep them separate. This is prevalent if you play the Hogan's Burger Bar as one of the premade restaurant lots. Boy do they not want to sit still! They always stand up to talk to other tables and ever since installing Parenthood, they're also now getting up to dance more often if there's a radio present, which I noticed immediately after installing the GP. It's not been as much of a problem in the other premade lots however.
