The tag leisure=outdoor_seating is used to map a seating area located outside, usually for the consumption of food and drink from neighbouring cafes and restaurants, often belonging to one or more of them, but not necessarily adjacent.
This tag can be used for all kinds of shared outdoor dining facilities, where guests sit outside. This can be a terrace (patio or deck), attached or detached from adjacent buildings, or a portion of a public pedestrian area with installed seating, or an inner courtyard.
How to map
Draw the outline of the area as a separate closed way, or add a point node in the center of the outdoor seating area.
If the outdoor seating area is very small, add it as a point at the center of the outdoor seating area, or as a node on an existing way that represents the building it is attached to (e.g. in the case of a bench in front of an ice cream parlour). For larger areas such as terraces, inner courtyards, street areas: Draw the outline of the area or area as a separate closed line. Add leisure=outdoor_seating.
If the seating area is exclusively reserved for a nearby establishment, add the tag access=* to feature you created and outdoor_seating=yes directly to another main feature such as a amenity=cafe or amenity=biergarten. See below for additional ways outdoor_seating=* is used to describe the location or type for this feature.
If the seating is not always available, seasonal=* and/or opening_hours=* should be recorded. Please avoid mapping temporary seating, for instance around pop-ups or food trucks, unless these have regular, predictable hours.
