If it's a business where I want people to stay a long time with lots of different activities or they are likely to stay a long time I will charge hourly. If it was something like a cinema or a spa I might just charge once (of course, with a spa you can charge extra for massages etc). I guess I try to make this similar to real life and think how we would be charged for something.

#3. Tagging the rooms?
I tag all rooms private and then just go back and tag to business the ones I want to give access to, including any 'outdoor' buildings such as a greenhouse or shed. If I have a garden area I want to keep them out of I will fence it off and lock the gate.
#4. Is there a way to set an object not for sale?
I see you got an answer for this off atreya33
#5. How to avoid "eat until you drop"?
I will be interested to see answers on this - the only business I had any kind of food with was a cinema and the sims all ate and ate and ate the popcorn and never watched any movies so I ended up removing the 'eat popcorn' activity, which was a shame.
