My PorocessFlow model is not running?

Can anyone help me please. I'm a basic ProcessFlow learner but i want to build a fast food simulation using the ProcessFlow.

Detail: I want customers to enter a queuing system placed at the Registration1 then there is a processing time associated with payment and ordering. After release from Registration1, i want that customer to have a sit in order to wait for there ordered food which they will go back to registration2 to receive their meal. Then have a drink, then find any random seat to eat, then release from the system.

Please help!! Any help will be appreciated.

2nd hint, do this with an actual newer version. Version18.1 got a People Waiting Line object. Version 19 got a People Process Flow template.

@Chheang H, welcome here to request help. But the help you get here is a bit different. You have to describe more, where you have a problem. You did it before, why do you change it now?

I suggest you split your restaurant simulation into smaller tasks. Then you build a model for each task. Then you integrate them into a large model. Then you delete this model and start again from the scratch and develop a model with the knowledge you will have gathered at this time.

Your Customer flow needs to be an instanced flow if you want to connect the people you're creating in the Arrival flow to the Customer flow. Also, your chair objects aren't locations or multilocations so you can't acquire them. I added a couple multilocation chair and tables so you can see how it should work.
