- A school operates a simple café selling snacks and drinks with seating available nearby.
- If students consume their purchases in the café area, it is considered a restaurant service.
- If students take their purchases elsewhere (even within the school) and receive them in disposable packaging, it is considered food sales, not restaurant service.
- Other areas of the school are not regarded as dining areas.
- The same assessment applies to restaurant operations in an employer’s premises.
