Thank you as always for starting this thread Kooky
Everyone has such great ideas; I hope they make it into the game
As usual, my post is a bit long...
But here we go!
General
- Less sparkles on the decor!
- Please serve the food in actual serving dishes, rather than cookie sheets or cooking pots. Even the classic blue plates are a huge step up from the recent trend of serving-in-cookware/bakeware that we've been seeing in the game.
- More of Gran-Gran, Phoebe, and Chef Lee as solitary 1x1 floor decorations please I gave suggestions in most categories below
- More seasonal solitary characters in general
- More people with varied skin tones please!
November/Thanksgiving
- A re-release of the November 2013 goals, including for players who may have started but were not able to finish them OR the re-release of that goal content for gems. I loved that the Halloween 2013 goals were brought back for October (as did many other players! ♡), but older players weren't able to finish the goals or buy additional goal prizes.
The November 2013 goals are special for me because they're the first monthly goal set I was able to participate in in Restaurant Story. However, being new and very inexperienced at the time, I wasn't able to get more than two steps into the goals 
If the Restaurant Story team is making plans to re-release the goals, PLEASE allow players to complete the goals if they weren't able to. Or, please allow everyone to be able to buy the goal content for gems, as was done with the April 2014 Blossom Goals content a long time ago.
- A sale on the Horn of Plenty box, or maybe a special sale wherein the box prizes are all available individually.
- New Thanksgiving recipes like Stuffed Turkey Roulade, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, Nut Loaf (the vegetarian version of meatloaf), Roasted Root Vegetables, Brussel Sprouts, Roasted Butternut Squash Chunks, Squash Soup, Macaroni Casserole, etc.
- Falltime kitchen scenes or equipment. Examples: a kitchen island with pumpkins and candles arranged on top; a wall-mounted spice rack featuring cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; Gran-Gran pulling a freshly-baked pumpkin pie (or even her famous boysenberry pie!) out of the oven; a cream-colored/thin burnt orange tile ****** backsplash wallpaper; an open window with patterned orange curtains showing fall leaves outside
- Still really hoping for a dirt tile It could work as a fall item
- The return of the Cider Bar as an LTO:
- Gran-Gran on a chair drinking some spiced tea
Black Friday
- I'm really REALLY hoping to see the Jazz Band back! Players have also given a lot of great suggestions on the Favorite Items thread. With how strong the other sales have been this year, I'm looking forward to a great sale
Winter
- Phoebe, Chef Lee, and Gran-Gran bundled up in outerwear
- Clusters of snow-covered pine trees
- A couple snuggled on a couch sharing a scarf and drinking hot cocoa
- Fogged-up windows with little drifts of snow on the edges
- Theme idea: the restaurant is closed and the staff is snowed in. Lee, Gran-Gran, and Phoebe make the most of it by enjoying their time in the restaurant making warm recipes
- Solitary characters wearing outerwear (coats, scarves, sweaters, sweater-dresses with leggings, boots, etc.) that we can place around our restaurant
- Outdoor heater floor decorations
- Snowflake wall decals
- Bare-branched trees with snow on the branches
- Soups! By far some of the easiest recipes to associate with winter, and the great part about it is RS could use a whole lot more. Examples: Corn Chowder, Kale Bean Soup, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Carrot Ginger Soup, Lobster Bisque, French Onion Soup, Butternut Squash Soup, Potato Leek Soup, etc.
- Maybe another seasonal sale featuring the return of winter boxes and other discontinued wintry items
- People going ice fishing
- A not-so-warmly dressed customer shivering in the cold (maybe he can warm up next to the outdoor heater
) - Coat racks packed with scarves, coats, mittens, and boots
Christmas
- Gran-Gran wearing a festive gown, or maybe on a rocking chair knitting a Christmas sweater
- Lee wearing an ugly Christmas sweater
- Phoebe in a festive dress (like in this promotional picture for RS from a while ago):
- And the snowy trees from the above picture too!
- Kids decorating a Christmas tree
- Kids sitting down on the floor opening their presents
- A gift exchange
- A grand fireplace (3x3 maybe?) with a decorated mantle in front of a rug and small table of cookies, with Santa peeking his head in from the chimney, or a "Stuck Santa" where only his legs and lower half are showing
- Returning Christmas recipes:
- Christmassy LTOs like the North Pole station and Grandma's Kitchen:
New Year's Eve
- Gran-Gran, Phoebe, and Chef Lee dressed to the nines and ready to party and welcome the New Year!
- Lots of different silver/gold/sparkly tables, chairs, counters, wall streamers, and decorations
- A sparkly new host table with balloons tacked onto it (this could very easily be a recolor of the Valentine's host table that used to be on the market)
- A ball drop floor decoration (preferably without a year so it can be used for multiple years)
- A sparkling cider fountain floor decoration, and an appliance with different sparkling cider recipes (examples: grape, apple, peach, pomegranate)
- Tables and chairs that look like clocks
- A wall clock showing midnight
- A 2x1 wall decoration TV screen (or maybe a 2x1 floor decoration TV screen) screening a New Year's Eve celebration
- A New Year's Bash concert venue with a performer surrounded by glitter and confetti, like performers at Times Square
- Solitary well-dressed party guests to place around the restaurant
- A couple sharing a New Year's kiss
- The New Year Party LTO:
- A fun wall decoration like this:
