@bouquetcatcher I made sure all my employee skills are maxed baking, cooking, mixology, fitness, charisma the full works. Even took them all to try the new foods on gatherings. And I know they can serve everything on the menu excellent quality because I've seen them cook the dishes plenty of times while my sims manage the restaurant. I'm just glad its not just me. At the moment I'm trying to move things around. See if its furnishings causing this. I've tested 3 in pack restaurants and 2 of my own. Still having this problem. If you do find a fix please let us know.
