How to Get Restaurant Perk Points in The Sims 4

To get Restaurant Perk Points in The Sims 4, you need to interact with customers as management. Simply click on the Sim and then select Management. Here are some of the interactions you have available:

  • Welcoming Sims
  • Comping their meal
  • Checking in on their table
  • Giving them a free dessert
  • Giving them free drinks
  • Prioritizing a table's meal

To give Sims free things or comp their meal, they need to have received their meal already. You can also only welcome each customer and check on their table once, so this method of earning Perk Points can take some time before you get enough to unlock rewards that are available for your restaurant.

How to Quickly Unlock Perk Points in The Sims 4

If you hover over a Sim, you can see their opinion of the restaurant so far underneath their name. You can also check how things are going with each customer by looking at the number in the star above their head, as this is the likely rating they're going to give you, depending on your service.The quickest way to unlock Perk Points in The Sims 4 is to consistently check in on your customers and tend to those who have a lower rating.

Thankfully, having waiters, chefs, and hosts takes most of the pressure off and lets you mainly focus on making sure that your customers are happy. However, it's best that you hire Sims that have the best skills for whichever position you're looking for, otherwise your customers will become unhappy and give you bad reviews. For example, if your chef has too low a Cooking Skill, it's likely that your customer's food is going to be inadequate, and they'll rate your restaurant poorly.

While this doesn't necessarily affect Perk Points, it makes it a lot more challenging to get customers to your restaurant in the long term; having to constantly put out fires instead of focusing on welcoming customers makes it extremely challenging to gain Perk Points.
