Tip: in order to get your waiters to stand in the right positions, after assigning all 4 chefs and 3 waiters, go into decorate mode and click on the stove that is closest to the door [according to the picture above]. Don't move it, just click and release. Get out of decorate mode and all your waiters should be in the right positions, and they will remain that way until the next time you move any of your stoves.
