This is the only goal I have up and I don't know how to complete or get rid of it. It states "Local Restaurant: Check in to a Restaurant that is 25 meters from your current location." Restaurant Doorstep Check-in 0/1. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Please help me.

Wish I was on my computer.. I can help you here.. If you set your location to Los Angeles and have the Begins Cafe and Catering business, then remodel that into a restaurant, it will count to that quest. Then you just remodel the skin and type for the rest of the check in within 25 meter quests..
Hope that helps

Luckily I have a restaurant right next to my office so that one wasn't a problem. The problem is the next goal is to check in to a cafe within 25m. Doh.

Then it will be a goal for the next business type. Then, just change it to the next business type. Do this for all 11 business types and you'll be good to go.

I had the hardest time with this goal as well. I ended up going into a strip mall full of restaurants and walking around with my phone until the game thought I was 25m from a restaurant.
I ended up in the bathroom of a Thai restaurant, checking into a Subway next door that was supposedly 25m away. lol!

Like you, I chose not to cheat on the goals. It's more fun to play by the rules and "find" the right location. Sometimes it's very frustrating -- for the local market I was literally standing in front of three businesses on Long Island that could be classified as markets, and couldn't get it to work. I ended up finding a fruit market in NYC and that worked out. There are two issues here: finding a place that is recognized within the category, and being within the 25m mark. Definitely requires some skill and a little bit of luck. ;>)

I can not meet this goal, either! I think I've tried everything; *bought a couple very close restaurants, or *changed ones I had to restaurants, or *changed ones I had to cafes, or *tried checking in to restaurants that popped up in the local checkin list (ones that I don't own) What have I been doing wrong?? Does it mean "MY" restaurant? OR "LOCAL" restaurants that MT2 is locating that I am very near? Does it really mean restaurant or cafe?? Or is there a glitch preventing many of us from getting this one just right? Presently, I don't own many very close business. Also, will it work to change a bookstore in to a restaurant, or can MT2 tell it isn't genuine?

You have to be within 25 meters. And obviously the GPS/triangulating location mechanism that they use is not always accurate. Once you get within the 25 meters, buy the business, then check in. Then change the business type and check in again. Keep doing this until you have achieved this goal on all business types.
Another note that I have seen to be true. Since they are using either Google or Yahoo or mapquest 3rd Party maps, most addresses are marked at the street in front the the business. That's why you see so many people complain about not getting "doorstep" check-in when they are IN the location. Go to the street and you will be close.
In the original MyTown, I used to be able to check-in to multiple businesses while sitting at a stoplight in front of the business.
Hope this helps.

I get the concept, I just can't find a business @ 25 meters ( and yes I have also gone inside using their wifi and still cant get it ). Closest I have found in my area is 55 meters. Oh well, got to be one somewhere. Thanks for the tip how to get through the other goals once I find the first business.

I have a question here: why is it so important to achieve all those goals? I never payed attention to check in in any of those businesses....what do you get when you checked successfully in a restaurant or a business or others? or is it just the thrill to accomplish something what the game ask you to do?...maybe I missed the most important part of MT2 without knowing it.... that was more than one question ;D

Syno - It's just the thrill of completing all the goals. You do get coins and XP like any of the other goals too. I'm the kind of person that MUST complete every goal and achievement in a game... but that's just me. Judy - Try going to the street in front of the biz (as far as you can and still pick up wifi signal) and keep hitting refresh on the check-in page. You should be able to get the distance to zero in better.

That was the perfect answer, it is the actual road (hubby was driving, I was hitting refresh). It turns out the businesses didn't even need to be what it was asking for, just distances. ie a tire store worked for the cafe. Got rid of 4-5 of them going to the store and back. If only he could have hit a few red lights!! Oh well, now I know exactly where to go to get the rest of them. Doorstop means in the road not actual front door.
Yes, I am one who it bugs if the goal isn't done..

Thanks to Solsville's advice, I achieved ALL the goals, the "goals" gal is actually gone from the upper left of my game screen, lol!
So, I had to go to a nearby mini-mall and search Businesses. Then I bought one. Went to Check In's and that business was there, as a restaurant, but it did not satisfy the goal. So, I searched on Maps to locate this business. Yes, I was there but it still would not count. I began to disbelieve it was even possible.
So, I looked it up with Mapquest, and got the locater on "me" to get closer and closer to this business (yes, I wasted time on a Saturday looking like a moron, don't judge me).
Bingo, it located just across the main street. Pulled in to parking lot and checked in....Goal Met (crowd was cheering). New Goal: Check in to Salon within 25 meters!?! OK, changed that business to a salon, check in to it, Goal Met (cheering). New Goal: Check in to a fitness business within 25 meters!?! OK, change my little local pizza place in to a fitness gym and check in, Goal met again!!
Etc, Etc until all goals were met. Then I started my car and drove home, hoping no one had been watching me in that empty parking lot and wondered what I was doing there. Mischief Managed!! Thanks, Solsville.

Just been to McD's and it showed me as being 345m away, whilst I was stood inside. I was closer to the football stadium over the road according to the game! ;D

You all are lucky to live somewhere where businesses are close. I live in the Caribbean and found the 25meter check in impossible then one day I looked and it was done. Weird but great. I am learning a lot from you guys. Thanks
