it is confusing as all hell that some businesses that
offer services for money are amenities and some are shops.
I know the implication of shop is for sales of goods, but
a restaurant sells food, and it is an amenity. A bench is
also an amenity. </blockquote>

a restaurant doesn't "sell food" as its main activity, it
provides a service (cooking and table service, offering nice
dishes and ambience, etc.).<br>

Using that thinking a butcher does not 'sell food'; it provides a
service of cutting up meat into nice cuts and proportions, packing
them and presenting them in a nice ambience. <br>

A restaurant does sell food ... not always cooked. A restaurant
without food will not have any customers, a restaurant with great
food will have customers. It may use ambience and good service to
help sell the food but the main thing you buy is food .. hopefully
great food. <br>
