But then how do we handle food places in food courts?

They would all count as =fast_food, as everything is already cooked /
prepared, & they are takeaway only from the actual shopfront, but there is
seating & tables 5m's away, so are they takeaway or sit-down?

But I think we have to, because "cafes" vary so much?

As mentioned by Feket, a coffeehouse usually also has something to "go

When I was working at the Uni several years ago, we'd go over to one of the
coffee shops for morning coffee. It was a kiosk only, & they only served
tea & coffee, together with bottled water & you could also buy bottles of
milk from them to take back to the staff kitchens. Fine, so it's a
=coffeeshop. But, they also had a container on the counter full of biscuits
(cookies) for sale! Does that then make them a cafe?

Similar to the food-court set-up ^, there were tables & chairs out the
front, but not for their exclusive use - anybody could sit & have a chat,
coffee or eat their lunch that they'd brought from somewhere else.

& I agree with you, even though it was me that mentioned it! :-)

That (at least to me?) then raises the problem of opening hours (which I
know can easily be defined). The vast majority of "cafes / coffee shops"
(places you can get a tea / coffee & a light meal) around here open at
~6am, but they then close at ~2-3pm - they're not open after work or for an
evening meal.

Similarly, most restaurants (full table service of a multi-course meal)
don't open till ~6pm, then stay open till 11-12.

Does that affect the cafe / restaurant definition dilemma?

Thanks
