Takeout Counter Placement

[Hans Brotmeister]

Can the takeout counter only be placed facing to the right? I tried placing it on the leftmost wall. I can turn the counter just fine until I try place it in the counter window. At that point it automatically turns to the right. What am I missing?

"to the right" is quite relative, since you can rotate your tavern... Usually you place the wall for the take out counter and when you place the counter on it, it will be placed in a way, that the "inside" is, where your staff will be and the "outside" is, where the customers will be.
I haven't yet placed the counter inside my tavern (where both sides are inside) so I haven't come across this problem. I always placed the takeout counter in an outside wall, with staff inside the tavern and customers outside in the open.

I placed it between the bar and the kitchen to minimise waitress movement.

I had the same issue, the takeout counter rotates fine until it locks to the wall. Once I drag it to the wall it spins to have the signboard on the inside of the building only. Nothing I do lets me rotate it to be oriented the correct way (outside out).

I fixed it by rotating my camera so what was the top of my tavern became the bottom with the new camera orientation.

The only time I tried to place one of these on an external wall, it flipped around so that the clients would be inside and my waiter outside., and I could not flip it around. So I placed the damn thing on an internal wall and the problem was solved.
Still, it's good to see it should be working as I thought it should. I'll try again later, if I find a good spot for it.

This is somewhat old post but this came up when I googled this problem. Finally figured out that you need to move your camera so the camera is outside of the tavern, then the takeout pops so the it's from inside to out.

If this is the same issue I'm thinking of you have to go outside looking in to place the red cloth on the open window otherwise it will be the wrong way around and your customers would queue inside while your waitresses walk outside to pass them through the window.

Really this is a poor implementation because it should be easy for the developers to determine which one leads outside. But we can live with it.
