Dine Out: Broken pack with lost potential?
Can we take a moment to discuss how amazing the Sims 4 Dine Out could be? The potential? Be a manager who runs the restaurant, work as the head chef, host or waiter? Or struggle to do all 3! Oh what ...

I really don't have problems with Dine Out. However, I use restaurants as places to go, not as businesses. If you could have your Sim work as a chef, I would give that a try. So I agree, the pack is disappointing in that aspect.
I do sometimes download player built restaurants and have had no problems. But I am careful to pick simple builds and have modified things myself. The latest one was a lovely Japanese themed restaurant. It had an upstairs bar area and apartment which I deleted. I don't want extra stuff like that to entice Sims away from ordering food and eating it. Instead I added extra tables upstairs including an 8 seater for my largest families.
The only problem I've ever had is an EA built restaurant where I never got my food because the waitress kept dropping it. This had happened repeatedly. Finally I deleted her from Manage Households and it solved my problem. She must have had the clumsy trait. So don't hire clumsy Sims!
The only other thing lately the waiters and waitresses don't clear your table, so sometimes I have had to make one of my Sims do it if dessert is wanted. This is fairly recent though.
