Game Restaurants completely Broken after this patch

Resetting the chef works for the customer also.

I do not own any restaurants. However, my sims like to go out to socialize. I have experienced both restaurants where no food is received for what seems forever, and others where everything runs normally. My restaurants are a combination of Maxis built and Gallery downloads. One of the restaurants where everything ran smoothly is notoriously bad on a regular basis, yet this time it was great.

I hope this gets resolved quickly for those of you trying to own/run restaurants. Maybe then they will get around to fixing gardening.

Thank you, thank you people! The resetting thing works. Yes, I have to do it everytime but at least it works. I can run my returants again and I can go to a restaurant and have fun again. THANK YOU!

I've been enjoying restaurants for years as an owner and a visitor. I only ever had issues caused by cc or bad placement of build items. My restaurants are working perfectly fine. Just had a couple get married at one lol

I'm sorry you are having issues but I can't imagine what it could be.... have to try a brand new save?
Honestly saying EA FIX THE ISSUE! Does not magically fix the issue. The only way they can fix it is to be able to reproduce your exact issue. That's why it's important you start cc/mod free on a new save to test it. If it still happens report it so they can reproduce it.
Then you have to be patient so they take time to discover why this is happening and fix it.
Unless you just don't want the game all together you can just do something else in the game if you find restaurants unplayable for now.
But it's working fine for me personally. I have all packs, mods and cc

Whenever do they refresh the dine out it will remain broken if not broken on their part they won't fix it,

I noticed this issue on a vanilla game I've never used mods or cc in. I was thinking of repairing the game or removing some seating outside. I haven't tried it yet but I just had a very frustrating experience at a restaurant I renovated from a cafe Maxis made (Mimi's Cottage or something like that it came with Windenburg). Is there a guide to successfully build a restaurant spaciously so I don't have this problem again?

I'm not just having issues with the chefs standing outside, but also the waitstaff just standing around doing nothing, and by nothing, I mean everything else BUT serving food. Have wall-mounted speakers? They'll be there dancing to the music, have a bar? They'll be there drinking at the and chatting with the customers, have decore? They'll be there gawking at the decore or else just standing around browsing the internet or playing games on their phone.
That's on top of the usual bungled mess that is Dine Out since Island Living came out if not just before, sims not sitting down to eat, staying at their table or else butting in on each other's conversations or wandering off to do otherthings.

I hope that the next pack to get a revamp is Dine Out, I hope the team is working their butts off to fix this broken mess of a pack.
