I must not have sent my Sims to any restaurants since I installed IL, or the new patch, or whatever caused the bug lol!
I do encounter this at my Sims' home though - Usually when I send someone to cook a meal, they will grab a serving for themselves once prepared. Now, they either do not grab a serving at all (and sometimes go for leftovers in the fridge... after cooking...) or they grab a serving and just set it down and another family member comes and picks it up to eat. So I imagine that's what's happening in restaurants too... That's pretty frustrating. It's easy to control if I catch it, but in a household where I can control everyone... not the case on a commercial lot. Hopefully this gets patched soon :(
I don't think, as many have already stated, that the marketing team took away any bug-fixing resources. We just see that new shiny thing they presented to us and wonder why it's not something that affects our gameplay directly. I'm hopeful it will be fixed soon since @SimGuruNick tweeted about it.
