As of right now I can't get my host to show up, I can't run the restaurant without him. I don't want to fire him due to the amount of money I've spent training him. On other days different waiters haven't showed up but at least I still had 2 other watiers each day. All of my employees have been promoted to level 5, my host satisfaction level is neutral. Is there a way to force them to show up? How can I make them happier?

My waiter bugged out and wouldn't show up on his 2nd day of work. I was panicking because the restaurant was booked full and nobody was there to take orders. I tried to fire him for not showing up but the action would cancel instantly.Workaround/Fix: Close restaurant and re-open immediately. You'll lose your customers, but at least the employee will most likely show up.

I have this same problem! My host has been nothing but amazing since I hired him, and suddenly, after a few shifts - he just wont show up! I demoted him, thinking he was playing hooky... whoops! I'll try closing and re-opening!

I have opened, closed and reopened the place several times. He wont show up.

Give him a raise and praise him to make him happier.

I cant, they are promoted as much as possible and I can't praise him if he doesn't show up.

I'm getting something similar. Employees won't show up for next shift. The section for managing employees dont have them highed anymore and I can't select new ones. I have to leave the lot and come back to it and re-higher all new employees. It's super frustrating because then I can't every train up them or anything.

This is a bug. Criticizing or demoting staff will only make them upset if you think they're playing hooky.

I fired my waiter and got a new one that shows up, for now... I wish we had alternate hosts, chefs and waiters, for when the main ones don't show up and for when they get tired so we can replace them.
