I havent had a restaurent in forever. Why are the meals in the kitchen? Arent waiters supposed to take it to the customers? Or could you build things so the staff doesnt leave the meals in the kitchen but in an area where customers have access to but not in the kitchen?
Try this if you still want to lock the kitchen down.
Select the chef, lock the doors for everyone but the chef. Then select the door and "unlock for specific sim...". Select the staff.
Or after locking it for everyone but the chef, select the door and choose "allow access to..." -> employees.
I’m not sure I understand you correctly. Chef is an npc selected for this vacation. I cannot select him and close the door for everyone but chef. I don’t have such an action on the door. And the sims I can open the door to are those who only live in my household.
I see. Thats inconvenient.
Just to be sure, this is what I mean to lock the doors:
But if you can find that NPC in the manage households list (on the world selection and region screens, upper right) you could enter that household, visit the lot and then try to lock the doors. He is assigned to the lot so he should be able to interact this way with the doors. Just set the household to inactive again after you are done.
