Oooh! House Elves!
Zazazu:
I have a quandary. While I don't want the issue solved for this lot, I would like to know how to replicate it ;D.
At Saish, a self-built club/restaurant with loft ceilings and fun stuff, the food is being served by house elves...at least as far as I can tell. Chefs don't spawn, and I only have the one waiter (fine, it's a small restaurant). The kitchen setup contains:
1. The most expensive fridge.
2. Two of the least expensive full counters.
3. The deep-depth industrial sink.
4. The restaurant stove.
None of the items in the kitchen are custom. Yet I have no chef. What happens (and I do love this) is that the waitress comes to take the order. They then go back into the kitchen, idle for a moment, and then the food suddenly appears in front of my sims :o. The waitress then moves on to the next table. There is no jumping, and no error popping up.
What item am I missing that provides a chef? I had thought the stove did it. When I glanced at Always in Season (another self-built, but older), the kitchen has more sinks but is otherwise the same, and I have a chef. The kitchen at Saish is significantly smaller at only 9 tiles.
Marhis:
I would say you have an invisible chef.
Try some hacked object that shows you a menu of all sims present in the lot, like the relationships setter element of Insim, something like that.

I have the same thing happening in FM, that came in the EA Downtown neighborhood. But then if I wait long enough, a chef is suddenly there. I haven't watched to see if he is showing up later, or just whips off his invisibility cloak, but this lot is totaly EA made and I havn't changed anything in it. ???
Zazazu:
Hm. I suppose that's possible, but I should have mentioned two things:
1. The lot has now been used in two 'hoods: Urban Paradise and Monopoly. In neither 'hood has it had a chef. Multiple visits in UP (6, approximate).
2. A townie decided to bypass the exorbant charges and feed herself some lobster thermidore. She was able to use the stove.
I can always use the ACR adjuster and see if anyone pops up that isn't visible just in case. Good idea.
Tgcgoddess, I've had similar...especially if it's a first visit and the chef has to be generated. No chef ever generates on this lot, though, and I have plenty in the "pool"....5 in UP due to a downloaded pizzaria with a gargantuan kitchen that spawned extras, and 3 in Monopoly.
jsalemi:
Ok, I don't think playable sims are supposed to be able to cook for themselves on community lots (though I may be wrong). I think jfade made a version of the restaurant stove that can be used on residential lots -- maybe you accidentally used that one instead of the original from the game?
