Please never take legal advice from random people on the internet. Something like this is too specific to local laws for anyone to give you meaningful advice unless they know all the details.
Find a local lawyer and call their office. Most will give you a free consultation to begin with.
A lot of state bar associations (professional org for lawyers) will have a list of attorneys who will give you free/cheap 30 minute consultations. Googling "[my state] bar association lawyer referral" will usually get you in the right place. Here's an example from Texas, where you can get a 30 minute consultation for no more than $20.
Some policy questions I would work out beforehand (talking to that restaurant is a good idea, and a lawyer may have ideas, too):
It's a lot to mull over, but doing that work now could save you a blowup down the line.
I'm not looking for legal advice from strangers, I'm looking for a better understanding of the jargon so I am more able to do research on my own. But thank you for your concern 😊
