Restaurant critic

A Food Critic is a NPC Sim that is introduced in The Sims 4: Dine Out. The Food Critic enters a Restaurant every so often after a Restaurant has reached 3 stars. Food Critics will behave like any normal customer, however, their review on their experience at the Restaurant can impact the Restaurants ratings greatly.

Food Critics can look like any normal sim, however, they are easily identifiable, customers that go to a Restaurant will have a star floating over their head depicting the numbers 1-5, to which is that individual Sims review of the place. Food Critics have a white ribbon underneath their star.

Getting a good review

Getting a good review is vital for the Restaurant to work as it helps bring in more customers.

There are many ways to impress the Food Critic such as making the owner interact with them as any customer will feel special after the owner speaks to them, making sure the Food Critic's surroundings and mood is good will help them feel good in the restaurant. Owners can select "Prioritise Table" on the Food Critic's table in which will make the Waiters and Chef work faster to deliver whatever order the Sim on the table wants.
