Dine Out - Customers won't stay seated!
So I've returned to the game after a four month break. I played my restaurant family only to find their business is now a zoo because customers won't stay in their seats anymore! It seems as though ...

I made a restaurant that had an upstairs "apartment" for aesthetic purposes, but when I had my sims visit, they kept going up there to watch tv instead of staying at their table. :| I blocked the doors with tables, but they'd still try to go up there, so I ended up deleting everything that would draw them away from their seats and that finally got them to behave. It was such a pain.
Did you set the door lock to 'allow so and so only?" you have to do that if you want to live above a restaurant or business. Yes, TVs and Radios are distractions while they wait for food. I have found my restaurants either NPC or my Sim's owned ones, work better if I put a sofa or bench out near the podium so they can sit and chat while they wait for a table. Also, those in clubs who are set to meet at restaurants never really eat, but stand around and talk and interrupt others. I would cancel those clubs and not have any of them in the game because when you see them out they never sit to order or eat. They just stand around in the way yaking.
@Cinebar This is a late reply, but no, I couldn't lock the doors because none of my sims owned the restaurant (and I believe sims can't lock doors they don't 'own' unless I'm misremembering). I made the upstairs purely for the backstory of the restaurant.
