How many restaurants
How many restaurants are in your save? I feel like I have too many but I do like the variety.

There are 4 or 5 restaurants that came with Dine Out and should be in your Library. (That presumes you have Dine Out installed which is required for restaurant function.) Or you could go to the Gallery and search for lot type Restaurant for the lot size you want to use. The ones that came with the pack are all 30x20s but the Gallery can give a lot more variety. My restaurant in Brindleton Bay is only a 20x15, so you can pretty much use any size lot for a restaurant and it still functions. The main requirements for a restaurant are, IIRC, a chef kitchen object, a host station (where you go to get seated) and at least one waiter station (for the waiters) to clear the dirty dishes).
Once you place the lot in your game, you can edit the menu and the outfits for the chefs/hosts/wait staff. There are some preset menus to start with but it's a lot more fun to create your own especially if you have a lot of the packs since you can add recipes from any pack to your menus. If you have Backyard Stuff you can even add the drinks from that pack to the beverage menu, like lemonade and iced tea. That's one reason why it's nice to have multiple restaurants with different menus. You can also set the outfits for the restaurant staff (chefs/hosts/wait staff) and the dress code for the restaurant (I'll use party for some of my restaurants to get some use out of the category).
I haven't actually had a Sim run a restaurant so I can't address the procedure for that.
