Make your sim’s eatery the toast of the town with the help of these Restaurant Perk cheats!
The Sims 4 Dine Out Game Pack has been a source of ire for players since it launched. While fun & exciting in theory, it’s proven to be a bit of a difficult pack to work with mainly due to how long the dining experience takes. Despite this, Restaurants are a popular venue for sims to visit, as they’re a great gathering place and allow your characters to try new & exciting foods they might not otherwise have access to.
If you want to try playing the Restaurant aspect of this pack it’s certainly worth a go, if not for any other reason than to get a new gameplay experience. It’s also a great option for sims with a Culinary Aspiration, allowing them to have an even more fulfilling career! You can make things a little easier on yourself with the help of Perks, and you can immediately unlock them with the help of Restaurant Perk cheats.
What Are Perks?
Perks are unlockable advantages your sims can earn by advancing their talents in a particular line of occupation. Not merely exclusive to Restaurants, Perks can be unlocked for a variety of situations such as Retail scenarios or the Fame mechanic as well. Each situation has its own separate Perks though, and today we’ll be focusing specifically on Perks for Restaurant owners.
Before you start experimenting with Restaurant Perk cheats, your sims will need to own a Restaurant and you will need to have TestingCheats active. Your sim will have to be at the Restaurant venue to use the cheats though the business doesn’t have to be open.

Using Perks To Improve Your Restaurant
As you can see, there are a lot of useful Perks you can use to really elevate your sims’ Restaurants. Though it might be tempting to unlock them all at once, you’re better off strategizing and deploying them at specific times. For example, you probably don’t want to use the Meal Rush Perk until you’ve unlocked extra staff, and you’d likely benefit by sending them to training with the Lower Employee Training Costs Perk first so they’re better equipped to handle all those extra visitors.
Additionally, training your staff before hiring more means you can worry about fewer employees and keep your focus on the newbies while your seasoned crew keeps the business going. Try out different combinations of Perks and see how smoothly you can get your eateries running!
Closing Time
Now that you know how to access all the Perks that Dine Out has to offer, it’s time to set your chefs loose in the kitchen. Use your newfound knowledge of Restaurant Perk cheats to hone & craft a well-running crew to keep your patrons full and happy, and then watch those simoleons come rolling in!
