Ok… so to keep sims out of the kitchen at restaurants you have to own the restaurant? And there’s absolutely no way to keep them from going behind the bar on a bar lot?
I swear I wasn’t dreaming all those times that I used to lock doors for “everyone but __” in my nightclub ??
Restaurants only need the chef cooking station in the kitchen, if you add fridges or regular stoves sims will try to use them. Best way to keep unwanted sims out of certain areas is to not put there objects that attract them for autonomous use.
Very insightful @crocobaura . I'll keep that in mind for restaurant venue lots. Could explain why I've had problems of not getting served. (PC visiting an NPC restaurant) Only the staff were using the fridge and regular stoves, but still yeah.
On a similar topic, I recently tried the detective career. It was quite amusing seeing the witnesses go take a bath, cook something on the barbecue in the backyard etc... at a crime scene. Meanwhile the other cops start flirting with each other. :D

@lucombre Actually, I have been doing this a long time. (Only works on a lot you can set doors to lock specifics)
Put in a fence with a gate or half-walls on both sides of the bar. Allow access to only specific people (Sims). Even the invisible fence and invisible gate works. I have done that in my main residential in a painting area because I only want one Sim to be able to go there and use all the easels to paint. While also having that Sim not rather have to be locked in a separate room away from everyone else. That's no fun!
If the Sim(s) you are playing are own a business lot, then you can set the lock door functions for that lot. If it is completely NPC run, then you cannot. Also I tried this,if you buy it, set the doors to different lock modes, then sell it, the doors are all unlocked after that.
