The most important thing about the Restaurant. There you can change the price markup, the Advertising (this will help get more customers), Ingredient Quality (only if you have purchased the Ingredient Quality Options perk in the Restaurant Perks), The Menu for the Restaurant, the Uniform of the Host, Waiters, and Chefs, and finally the option to set what type of clothing the customer will attend the restaurant in: Everyday, Formal, Athletic, Sleepwear, Party, and Swimwear.Īlso in the bottom left of the window for Restaurant Settings is the option to Sell the Restaurant, this is helpful if the Restaurant just isn't cutting it for you and you don't want to own one, Or because you can own multiple Restaurants, selling a Restaurant can help make one less restaurant to manage.

In the top right corner of the Owned Businesses Panel, you can see the "Restaurant Settings", this will pop up many options of your Restaurant. This can work vise versa as if your Household funds are getting low you can transfer the money you earned from the Restaurant to your Households Funds. If the Restaurant runs too low on money you can always transfer more money to the Restaurant but once the Restaurants starts booming you don't have to worry about it running out. The reason why you transfer funds is so that household funds and Restaurant funds are separate and doesn't affect your household money, also because you can have multiple Restaurants and transferring funds to a individual Restaurant can help you keep track of the funds for each Restaurant. You can select to transfer funds by the Transfer Funds button in the Owned Businesses Panel and there is a button next to the Household funds to select to transfer funds. This will be the money the Restaurant will have, and a percentage of the money will go to the Employees and Ingredients for the food. When you have a Restaurant, you must transfer funds to the individual restaurant from your Sims household funds.

If you don't want to spend time building your own Restaurant, you can always plop one down from the Gallery. All Restaurants start out with 1 Star Rating. Make your Sim pull out their phone and call to Buy a Restaurant or look in the Owned Businesses Panel (which you can find at the very bottom right corner of the screen, clicking the cash register icon) and under the Select an Option you can select to buy a restaurant!īoth options will direct you to the map in which you must pick a empty or residental lot to buy to make it your restaurant. There are multiple ways of getting your Sim their own restaurant.
