Great tutorial, thanks. For some reason it doesn't always work...
I have 5 restaurants in my game (a different style in each world) and went through the motions to hire sims for all of them. The 5th one was where I hit the downfall. Like @Jesf8312 the game generated more townies and brought those ones up instead of the ones I had made.
I had created 5 households of 6 sims to fill all the roles - that's 2 chefs, 3 waiters and 1 host for each restaurant. But it obviously did not like my last bunch at all! Very frustrating when it worked for all the others.
