Do you want a beautiful 5 star restaurant? Well it’s time to start repairing (once you have completed The Sous Judgemental Quest)
This post is to show what you need to clean up and how long it takes to unlock each section (if you use only one sim- I wouldn’t recommend that if you want it fixed up soon) you can have up to 10 sims fix up your restaurant at once which makes it a lot quicker to make it usable.
A blue exclamation mark appears sometimes to show you what needs to be removed:
But it doesn’t appear on all items, if you think something looks broken and needs fixing click on it and see.
Some items also can’t be fixed until another item has been removed, so in the downstairs bathroom area you can’t get to the cobweb in the corner until the leaky roof and trash have been sorted.
Once everything in that area has been removed you will be able to unlock the next area, the order and prices can be seen in this post.

- Trash- 1 hour 30 minutes

So much to do
I know! It looks so good when it’s all done though 🙂
How do you find out the star rating?
The star rating is shown at the front of the restaurant above the front door and on the sign beside the door
Thanks for this…..didn’t know this was gonna be so expensive and time lengthy project. Oh, so only ppl who completed the quest for multi-stories can start on the top floor.
It’s not so time lengthy when you have a lot of sims working on it but it is expensive.
Yeah I believe so, I could be wrong but I’m just assuming as it would be common sense 😛
I very love Sims,but this new update is sooo expensive.I have a time for preparing restoraunt,but i don’t have so many money.Sometimes The Sims makes me to hate him :((((. I don’t use any cheats because I love to enjoying siming :((
Well actually you can build the upstairs too before doing the multi story renovations quest. But it really is soooo expensive!
They must have changed this in the most recent update, when I created this post you couldn’t.
This is strange, since the ‘multi story renovations’ quest comes after the ‘sous judgemental’ quest. So after I finish the first floor I have to move on with the game and then come back for the 2nd floor here? Thank you for your post, now I know I have to save some simoleons before I get to it, so I’ll take my time with the preteens quest, which thankfully has no time limit. I hate the time limits :@
Yes it is strange, they have updated this as previously you could build the second floor without completing that quest but like you say it gives you time to save up!
And you’re welcome 🙂

I have finished cleaning everything and my restaurant is still only a possible 4 out of 5 stars…how do I get to 5 stars?
do you have dirty dishes laying around?
how much did it cost you to build it? on what factors does the cost depend on?
it cost me 200,000, sometimes when you build places the cost varies depending on how many other buildings you have
It won’t let me clear the rest of the dining area
Why won’t it?
Mines won’t let me finish repairing. I click on items and nothing happens. What do I do?? I want to finish building my restaurant 😦
Have you looked at the list to see if you have missed anything in that area?
Im new to the game…. And strugling to make and keep money … Wen its all finished .. can i use it as anather way to make money??
Unfortunately when the restaurant is complete you cannot make any money using it but this post may help you make money: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-15-ways-to-make-money-and-lps/
It’s kinda crazy trying to clean up things quickly when you can’t get to some of the items until others are cleared away first. It makes an already long process longer! Luckily I have ten Sims working on it at all times!
Yeah it takes a while but it’s worth it!
I very love Sims,but this new update is sooo expensive.I have a time for preparing restoraunt,but i don’t have so many money.Sometimes The Sims makes me to hate him :((((. I don’t use any cheats because I love to enjoying siming :((
It’s sooo expensive!
Man oh man, does this take a looooong time, I’m just starting it, my sms are workng on the foyer, so I should hopefully be all done by the weekend, can’t wait.
I wonder why we gotta buy each room after purchasing the lot of 200k
I have the same problem as Vanessa! There is no blue exclamation mark for me to click on after I’ve only done some of the dining area
It doesn’t appear all the time, just click on items that look broken
Do I absolutely have to completely build the restaurant? After completing the quest, I don’t want to work on it, so can i just leave it?
You don’t have to finish building it if you don’t want to
I have the same problem with gabriele. There is no blue mark. And everything can not tick.. help me
so you can’t press on anything to fix it? because even though the blue mark doesn’t appear on everything you should be able to still click on things to fix them.
I need help with the restuarant section of Sims Freeplay. I have completely finished the task the Foyer completed, But as for the inside of the restaurant, there ain’t any exclamation points for the task that need to be completed. I tap and tap but nothing seems to happen. Just send the sims where I am tapping…
can you not click on the chairs or anything to fix them?
Im having same problem with above people. sometimes a blue sign does not appear, but sometimes it does. By the way, what’s the benefit of opening the restaurant? Can this help me to make more sim money?
Have you read this post: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/08/17/the-sims-freeplay-using-the-restaurant/ it tells you what you can do once it is built but no it doesn’t make any money unless you do the cooking hobby there
Wow, ten hours to wait tables? Way to time comsuming to have fun. And after all that work and money to complete its….crazy.
When your sims are done at the restaurant, just cancel the wait on tables action because there’s no one to wait on.
I love your blog, it’s so helpful and well designed.In the next update however I wish they could make your sims left handed it would be so cool
Thank you!
Yes that would be good!
Wow thank you for this! I have just started it and didn’t realise you had to pay for each section! I know how to start saving the simoleons! 🙂 Brilliant blog by the way! x
You’re welcome! I’m glad it helps!
Are you supposed to have more than 1 sim repairing the same table on the rooftop?!
I have 4 sims working on 1 table, at the same time. Every time i click on the table, it gives me an option to repair for 7 hours. So i have 4 sims on 1 table, and 2 more sims on another table. Is this a glitch? I dont know if i should cancel the extras…
If I remember rightly you only need one sim repairing the table so I would cancel the others and make them repair something else
Finished the Restaurant a while back. Decided to start working on the lounge just as a side project. But wow, a lot of time and simoleons, and not really anything new to do here. AND, I just realized I need to do the final bar before it’s fully complete. Outside of faster romance, is there any reason to come back to this building regularly? Thanks for your time on this site!!!
not really, its just nice to have it all finished and your sims can enjoy a meal there
There is still a cover over the reception desk in the front room but I can’t clear it?
That will uncover once everything in the area has been cleaned up, if it is still there you must have missed something
Does anyone know in average how much money will have to be spent to clear out the whole restaurant? I need money for my next quests so I guess ill just wait until life dreams and legacies as I will not have any thing else to build for quest 😘 love your blog btw😘💕
Well it says on this post how much each area costs to build, you don’t have to build it right now anyway if you want to save up.
Thanks!
[…] for you! If you are struggling to build your restaurant still then read this post for guidance: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/08/16/the-sims-freeplay-building-the-restaurant/ So you need three people: 1. Someone to cook something 2. Someone to wait tables- 10 hours (click […]
Why does the game keep crashing every time I try to build the restaurant? Time is running out and I can’t build the restaurant. What should I do?
I forgot to say that I tried it on my IPad and on my IPhone.
have you tried restarting your device and trying to build it again?
This is awesome it takes so long and costs quite a lot but looks amazing when done !!!!!! I think the restraunt is well worth the cost
This is so expensive and has cost more than 350,000. Do you think it is worth it?
If you can’t afford it right now I would wait until you aren’t busy doing quests but in the end it will be worth it
Do you have to buy the kitchen to fix up the bathrooms???
Yes as it says in the post the kitchen unlocks the bathroom area too.
[…] can now repair the restaurant and make it look great! Click here for posts explains Building and Using the […]
Hi,
I’m not sure if this is a new update because I noticed you didn’t include this but the downstairs kitchen area also features two broken floor tiles to repair. 1 is in the kitchen, the other is in the bathroom and it takes 3 hours each to repair both of them.
Love your blog, btw. 💛
They must have added these in the latest update, I have updated the post now thanks for the information 🙂
I just finished building the first floor. It won’t let me build the second floor until I finish the Multistory Renovations Quest. Just thought I’d let you know, so you can update the post.
thank you!
I have 10 sims fixing the lounge. One sim is ficing chandelier, 2 others are cleaning trash (right side of the lounge, the opposite of kitchen) and another sim just finished fixing something else. However I can’t access fixing broken tiles with my free sim since it shows blue footprints. I tried cancelling the action for all 3 sims but the exclamation mark still gives to fix those 3 tasks and not broken tiles. Is there anything else my sim can do or do I have to wait (12 hours) until all 3 of my sims finish tasks and I can continue cleaning restaurant?
If the tile is blocked by an item then you have to wait for that item to be cleaned out of the way before you can fix it
I am on level 29 and yet I have only stopped at the quest before the restaurant one, I am a little bit unsure if I should right now or not. I might end up broke seeing the cost of buying the building and renovating it. Which is why I barely could buy any of the stores that I unlocked from the modelling hobby. I have up to 107 LPs, and I learned not to waste them unless, there is a use 1 lp option.
So what should I do? The 30 social points I saved I used it to buy a ‘renovators home’ in a standard plot since I didn’t want to waste money.
Yes its definitely a good idea to stop on a quest for a while to earn some money
Have you tried the cooking hobby? Its a great way to earn simoleons and LPs
So after I finish building and repairing every part of the whole restaurant I can start to get a 5 star rating.
The star rating goes up as you build the restaurant, so you have 5 stars when its complete
If I can’t afford to build the restaurant t and I let the time run out on the quest will it move onto the next quest or will it stay there forever til I save up enough money to buy the restaurant and finish tasks in quest
You don’t need to build the whole restaurant to complete the quest, you just need to open the front door, until you do that the quest will stay and you will be unable to complete the next quest.
I’m so upset, I went through the whole quest, had an hour left to bring the mud pie to the restaurant to the restaurant, but I can’t figure out how. I don’t know where the pie is, I can’t find it. Im not being allowed into the restaurant for some reason, when I Click on the restaurant, all my sims come up m, when I click on an available sim it just sends me to wherever they are. I don’t get it. I have 30 mins left, I guess I give up. Tried writing to the company, we will see. I was doing so good!!! 😞
You don’t actually see the pie, you go to the restaurant and click on the whistle on the simtracker to bring your sim there then you click on the grouch to give him the mud pie: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/08/08/the-sims-freeplay-sous-judgemental-quest/
Does the restaurant’s kitchen helps in finishing the cooking hobby? I started wasting money and time with the repairs just because I understood that I would have a chopping board there..for the recipes that are locked…
No it doesn’t, it has the chopping board there but you still have to complete the cooking hobby for the first time to unlock the chopping boards for your sims houses.
Thx so much for sharing! It’s really helped me out😊
You’re welcome! I’m glad it helped 🙂
Thank you for your amazing blog!! It’s very helpful and I showed it my sister too. Now she understands the game better althrough she’s not good at English (We’re from Finland) . And I’m sorry, I’m not good at English either :’D
Anyway, thank you☺
PS: Can I add you to my neighbours?
You’re welcome! Your English seems very good to me 🙂
Unfortunately I am unable to add anymore neighbours as my account is full, sorry!
I finished building the quest , i have repaired everything. Now im stuck because there is an exclamation point above the stove but im not sure what to cook !
You don’t have to cook anything if you don’t want to, it is just showing you can complete the cooking hobby there now.
Hiya
Do you unlock the restaurant furniture for sim houses when the restaurant is complete?
Thank you
No you don’t unfortunately.
