'''Restaurants''' exist in ''[[The Sims: Hot Date]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Dine Out]]''. They are places in which Sims enter, be seated at a table, and order from a large array of [[food|meals]] instead of cooking at home.
 
==The Sims==
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
A Sim who eats at many restaurants may be given a coupon for a free meal in the mail. The next time a Sim eats out at a restaurant, the option to use the coupon will be available from the host or podium. If Sims are eating as a group, any member of the group can use the coupon.
 
In ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'', there are several lots and [[hotel]]s that contain restaurant objects for dining service while on vacation. ThisThese includeslots include Three Lakes Plaza and, Twikkii Beach Hotel, and Flaming Dragon Hotel. Restaurants in hotels have a few differences from restaurants elsewhere: Sims cannot skip out on the bill, and only tables that are in the same room as the podium are used for dining. Restaurant features are not carried forward into ''Bon Voyage''. Therefore, if ''[[Nightlife]]'' is not installed, the room will just be empty with tables.
 
===Business===
{{Vgversion2|The Sims 2: Open for Business}}
In ''[[Open for Business]]'', Sims can own a restaurant. However, a restaurant is the least profitable of all [[business]] types.
 
An owned restaurant will not spawn any host, server, or cook. These positions must be filled by members of the owner's household, or by [[employee]]s. Customers will order while standing near the podium instead of while sitting. They will also have a sales bar while ordering, and sales interactions can be used on them. This, however, can only be done by a manager or a member of the owner's household; an employee cannot be assigned to do it. Hosts benefit from having a high [[sales]] [[Talent badge|badge]], and servers benefit from having high [[body]] skill.

==The Sims 3==
[[File:Cutlery Icon TS3.png|left]]In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Sims can dine out at [[diner]] or [[bistro]] [[rabbit hole]]s. Sims can eat insidealone or outside the rabbit hole with someone else, or havejust go in for a drink. Diners are open 24 hours a day, while bistros are open from 11 AM11AM to 11 PM11PM. Sims can also wait for dessert while eating inside. Eating at a bistro is more expensive than eating at a diner, but the bistro can sometimes trigger some events that will not occur at a diner. The playersplayer cannot see Sims while they're eating inside the rabbit hole.
 
If Sims are eating at a bistro, they can orderalso foodchoose fromto theeat menuoutside, thatwhere arethey placedwill onenter the table.rabbit Thehole chefand willthen takereappear order,shortly cookwith thetheir plates of food,. andThey servewill itseat tothemselves at any available outdoor table on the customerslot. Note that Sims who are on an outing or datingdate may not eat at the same table.
 
Although not explicitly defined, a functional restaurant can be made with the presence of the [[food synthesizer]].{{Vgversion|TS3:ITF}} While it does not employ a cook, it spawns a [[waiter]] or waitress to seat sims and take orders.
 
Similarly, the food register{{Vgversion|TS3:WA}} can be used to create a pseudo fast-food restaurant, with sims ordering at the register and seating themselves.
