so today we are going to go over how to
buy and manage a restaurant in the sims
for dine out it's pretty simple to buy a
restaurant to get everything started so
Brendan has been working on his house
here for a while and upgrading a few
things here and there but he's got a bit
of money left over and he wants to start
a restaurant so what we're going to do
is go down to the bottom right corner
and we're going to get him a restaurant
if you have dine out as well as get to
work you're going to see an option to
buy a retail store and buy a restaurant
down here otherwise you should just see
the option to buy a restaurant so what
we're going to do is buy a restaurant
and then it's going to take us out to
the map view so what we'll do is we're
going to get him a restaurant here in
his hometown in Oasis Springs
the first thing that we're going to have
an option to do is transfer money from
our household funds to our business by
default that goes to 10,000 but we know
that we're going to want to put a lot of
work into this so we're going to go
ahead and put 50,000 over you'll see
when you start working on the restaurant
that it's got requirements for what
actually makes it a restaurant sink
toilet chef station dining spot waiter
station and host station we're going to
put all of these items down as we go but
the first thing that we're going to need
to do is put a building down for this so
we're going to make something very basic
not too big
generally just to go over the basics of
what we need in a restaurant now is
where I would do yakety sax
so now that we've got a quaint little
restaurant for Renan to start working in
let's go ahead and focus on what's
absolutely important in here we'll just
go right down the list so the first
thing that we're going to need is a sink
and a toilet which means somewhere in
here we're going to need to put a little
bathroom or probably a couple bathrooms
so let's do that first
so now we have a couple of bathrooms so
our sink and toilet requirement are Matt
now we need to focus on a chef's station
so we're our chef is actually going to
cook the good thing is is that would
dine out we don't need a full-fledged
kitchen we actually only need this one
little chef's station where our cooks
will actually do all of their work so
let's find a nice place in the
restaurant to put that as your
restaurant gets bigger you may want to
think about room for multiple chef's
stations but as we know that this is
going to start off fairly small we're
only going to worry about the one the
next thing on our list here is a dining
spot we need at least four places for
people to sit so we'll throw down a
couple of tables for people to sit in
our fancy new restaurant so now that
we've got places to sit let's have some
decor to these tables one thing that's
really neat about dying out is you can
actually fit a lot of items now on
tables and seams can still eat at those
tables so now that we have ample seating
for our Sims in our tiny restaurant we
need to focus on a waiter station a
waiter station is where your waitstaff
is going to take dirty dishes to clean
them now last but certainly not least we
need to focus on a host station the host
station is where Sims are going to come
whenever they first enter your
restaurant to try and get a table and
talk to the host or hostess
now your host station doesn't
necessarily have to be in the restaurant
a lot of really cute restaurants I've
seen on the gallery actually have them
just outside of the restaurant but we
are going to go ahead and put this one
inside and there we have it we now have
all the makings of a fully functioning
restaurant now let's take a look at
managing it so we'll notice whenever we
go back into live mode that we've got
this little exclamation point oh my god
something's wrong icon on our manage
employees button what we're going to
need to do first and foremost is hire
some employees to actually work in this
restaurant because unfortunately Brendan
can't do it all by himself so let's take
a look and see what we can get the first
thing that we'll need to do is hire a
chef now these icons that you see down
here are actually going to be the skill
level for the people that we're going to
hire the higher their gourmet cooking
and their mixology skill the better chef
they're going to be and the better
quality dishes that they're going to be
able to make in your restaurant the next
thing that we're going to want to do is
hire a waiter same as your chef they're
going to have skills you're going to
want to focus on as well these are going
to be charisma and fitness and for our
host we're going to want to look at
their comedy skill and charisma now that
we've hired employees you'll notice that
our oh my god something's wrong icon is
actually gone and we can go ahead and
open up our restaurant before we open
though we may want to look at a couple
different things such as our restaurant
menu which currently only serves water
and the dress code for our waitstaff the
dress code that we have right now by
default is looking pretty much okay so
we're not going to go ahead and mess
with that but we will take a look at our
menu now since we have a low skilled
chef we're going to want to stick with
low skill appetizers and things like
that so we're going to keep everything
at 1 out of 5 as opposed to some of the
more difficult dishes which will be 4
out of 5 5 out of 5 something like that
so we're going to put some easy stuff on
the menu to make sure that our dishes
come out nice and tasty and not poor
quality
now as an owner brendan is only going to
have control over so many aspects of the
restaurant the one thing that's very
important for him to do is welcome
customers make sure that they're taken
care of comped their meals if things
start to go wrong and various other
interactions that he has with them
another thing that Brennan has control
over is whenever things start to go
wrong with his staff members he can
criticize them for their poor work one
thing that we've already noticed is that
these customers wish that the place had
more friendly service which means our
hostess probably isn't being very nice
to people so we're going to go ahead and
manage her and we're going to criticize
her for her poor work but our customers
do like the fact that they're being
welcomed by an owner so while we went
down to two stars we went right back up
to 3 because
retton's such a good restaurant owner if
you notice that an employee is doing a
good job at work and instead of
criticizing them you can actually go and
praise them for their work as well and
if you notice that they're doing a good
job consistently and you see their
skills going up you can promote them
another thing that you can do to help
with their skills is you can actually
pay for training and what they'll do is
after work they'll go and get training
for their skills and they'll come back a
better employee than when they left over
time you'll notice that you build up
perk points for your store so if you
look down here in the bottom right
corner you can look at your business
perk tabs and you can actually buy perk
points some of them are permanent some
of them are temporary I would make sure
you read through them carefully but you
can buy things like additional waiters
or you can have customers tip more or
typically buy more expensive items on
their menu if you find that you're
having a hard time meeting your Sims
needs and running your restaurant at the
same time much like a retail store you
can actually build a living area in your
restaurant and you can lock the doors to
make sure you keep customers and
employees out after so many hours your
employees will start to get tired and
probably a bit ornery so you might want
to consider closing your restaurant
after maybe 10 or 11 or so hours
so now that we've closed our restaurant
for the day we get a little summary of
how our day went we can see where we
have opportunities to grow and where we
really shine
I hope Brendan getting a half a star
closer to his goals helps you learn a
little bit more about running a
restaurant and dine out until next week
thanks for watching and if you have any
questions go ahead and leave them in the
comments below I'll happily read them
and answer any questions you might have
about the newest game pack I will see
y'all next Wednesday and until then
happy gaming and happy restaurant
