Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.34
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except: Journey to Batuu, Snowy Escape, Nifty Knitting and My First Pet Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim visit a restaurant
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim travels to a restaurant only to find it's completely deserted
What do you expect to see? Waiters, chefs, and hosts working!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Installed version 1.34
So this is another thing that's happened. Every time my sim visits a restaurant, the place is completely empty.
No hosts, no waiters, no chefs. Nobody.
Deleted a restaurant and replaced with a new one thinking it was the build that was broken, Still no staff.
I've only tried attending restaurants in San Myshuno but will update if any of the other worlds are the same.
This has only started happening since the latest update.
Anyone else?

This happened to me with a restaurant lot I downloaded from the gallery. It turns out there were objects blocking the staff stations so the NPCs wouldn't spawn when the lot loaded.
This solved it for me:
bb.moveobjects offThis isn't strictly necessary, but it will at least make it so you can't place important restaurant objects where they might be blocked by build/buy items.

I have the same issue. I placed a restaurant from the gallery in the spice district (the lot with the house on it, not the karaoke bar). No staff showing up. Tried rearranging stuff, but that didn't help. I had moveobjects turned off, to ensure that everything had enough space to function. BTW, the spice festival was running at the same time. Don't know if this is relevant, but I guess every bit of info helps?

I'm not sure if some of the workers died or what, but I had to go back to the restaurant with them and select new workers to replace the ones that weren't showing up because it showed that no one was working for particular jobs (in my case I had no chef and no host). I hope this helps!
