Tutorial on how to hire your own sims you made, to work in your Restaurant

@rosemow,
Another thing I have noticed with the Dining Out package: When a friend Sim asks my Restaurant owner Sim to go out to eat (at the restaurant that my Sim owns), we arrive and no one is there, working. I would have to then open my own restaurant in order for my Sim to go on a date.

I thought the restaurant ran even when your owner was not there?? And-I thought our Sims were supposed to be able to dine at our own restaurants and not have to be playing the "owner" at the time we were dining or on a date?
