Y'know, the problem with restaurants isn't that they're hard. I can deal with hard. The problem with restaurants is that they're boring. Once you've sent the family to the lot and assigned them their roles, there is not one dang thing you can do to affect events except keep an eye on their motives. I tried having an extra person available, intending that they should switch into a role when the person doing it needed to use the restroom, but the animations take so long to do that this isn't really effective.
Also I am learning this with hands-down the stupidest family of sims I have ever played. I have never seen such a family for being blocked by nothing whatever, dropping things from their queue as fast as they go in, failing to get off the lot when told to go somewhere, go unfailingly for the least convenient element of plumbing, etc. Some of it's the house layout (turns out having two stairs leading to the same landing confuses the hell out of them) and can be fiddled with but a lot of it is them.
Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.
