Such rules are very commonly signposted

in establishments all over southeast asia and likely also in other parts 
of the world. Besides restaurants and cafes there are also cinemas, 
resorts and tourism accommodations that have similar policies which may 
be signposted or not.

Other than the obvious yes/no we should also have a value to indicate 
that a place generally allows outside food but charges a fee for 
bringing particular items.

Off the top of my head I'd propose something like:
outside_food=yes/corkage/no + outside_food:signed=yes/no

Timmy
