I don't have your problem, but I've managed to get a few restaurants earning §1000-§2000 a day or more.
A few questions.
How many days have you actively managed the restaurant?
How many customers do you get? With 5 tables and 2-3 sims a table you should have 10-15 sims at your peak. You may turn over the tables 2-3 times a day, a total of 25-30 customers for a 8-12 hour day.
How many visits from a restaurant critic have you had?
How many staff do you have?
How many tables do you have?
I have never used the marketing packages. One chef and one server can usually handle 5-7 tables, maybe more. I don't expect to make a profit for the first 5-7 days that I actively manage the place (I can do it, but it's a gradual process). I start out with low mark up on the food and gradually raise it when I get lots of customers. With a chef at max skills, I take off the menu any foods below 3 skill level points. You should get more customers as your star rating increases. With all the perks you can get (low food costs, bonus harvest, etc.), 25 customers a day should be able to net you §500 to §1500 a day.
