Restaurants get real foot traffic

Restaurants and F&B venues used to receive visitors only as a side-effect of shelf-product demand — a diner-focused venue in a quiet retail city could sit completely empty no matter how good its menu. Fixed:

• A dedicated dining stream. Every city now sends its restaurants a steady flow of walk-in diners scaled to the local population (and boosted by traits like Tourist Destination), the same way hotels already receive guests.
• Refusals tell you why. Each diner who walks away is recorded with the reason — menu ingredients missing, prices too high, queue too long — on the venue's visitor feedback, so an empty dining room is always explained and fixable.

Stock your ingredients, price your menu fairly, and staff the kitchen — the customers will come on their own now.
