Moving a 30x20 to another 30x20 lot in same world

I have a 30x20 restaurant, but never happy were its located, and I want to like pick it up and put in down on another 30x20 lot in the same world but different region.

I know you could possibly save lot to library, then demolish the lot and place it down there, but I'm fearing the game will classifiy it as a "new" lot and employ new staff there, which I don't want because I very happy with the staff that already works there.

It's not a owned restaurant, just an ordinary one,  but I hate to see it completely employed by strangers.

Sadly there is no way to move it and retain the same staff. The best you can do is move it and then go into Manage Worlds and delete all the other NPC's which would up the odds that the game will provide these sims for choosing as staff again. That would mean your active sim would have to own the restaurant but you could always play a different sim just for this purpose and then mark them as unplayed once you have set the restaurant back up. I'm not sure how successful this would be and I don't even know if you actually did manage to rehire the same staff, if they would be retained if you then were to mark the restaurant owner as unplayed or even when you switch back to your normal active sim.

When I have played sims that are restaurant owners and I am playing another family and visit the restaurant, different staff are always there. When I rotate back to the restaurant owning sim usually the same hired staff return... no idea if it is meant to happen that way or some weird quirky bug.
