According to NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, and NFPA 5000, Building Construction and Safety Code, a restaurant with an occupant load greater than 50 people is classified as an "Assembly" occupancy. An Assembly occupancy is defined as an occupancy used for a gathering of 50 or more persons for deliberation, worship, entertainment, eating, drinking, amusement, awaiting transportation, or similar uses. Since the restaurant has an occupant load greater than 50 people, it falls under this category.
For exact details, refer to NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), Chapter 3, and NFPA 5000 (Building Construction and Safety Code).
