Reply to comment by HelloCantaloupe in DC’s cafe scene is great but lacks seating by ActuaryPersonal2378

You are mistaken. Occupancy is a function of size and number of restrooms…

It’s more that it’s not profitable for people to just be parked not spending a lot all day.

You are welcome to Google, but I first learned about the 18-seat limit for prepared foods shops (which are most coffee shops…) via this Wash Post article from several years ago.

“Their business was categorized as a prepared-foods shop, limiting it to 18 seats, but the space could hold much more.”
