Ideas
I have a report about this. I was also suffering from this bug for a few days; I had even given up trying to solve it, and apparently, I accidentally fixed it... My game was lagging a bit (I have a downloaded ultimate save and play on it), so I decided to do that 'hard reset' on the game, backing up my folders and letting the game generate new ones. Factory reset is the name? I forgot. Anyway... when I did this, the employees started appearing again in the restaurants (so far, every one I've visited in my game had its proper staff: host, cook, waiter, etc.). So maybe it's worth a try for anyone who has this problem...
Oh, another thing I did was remove the 'No Empty Venues When Arrives' mod. I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but it was causing infinite loading screens in my game. Since I did both things at the same time (the hard reset and the removal of that specific mod), I thought it was worth mentioning.
I will keep an eye to see if this bug will return for me after a couple gameplays
TLDR: Hard reset solved the problem for me.
