The term "outdoor_seating" encompasses all outdoor dining facilities in the area where guests are sitting outdoors. This can be the terrace, often separated by planters or small fencing, on the associated property, also simply on the walkway installed seating or the inner courtyard area / the roof terrace of a larger restaurant / hotel.
In urban gastronomy, the outdoor areas of the cafes, pubs, restaurants and hotel terraces are often quite conspicuous in the summer with large parasols and Mediterranean vegetation and decoration.
In Mediterranean countries the seating is mainly outdoors.
However, outdoor seating with the tag leisure=outdoor_seating is to be limited to the popular, proven beer gardens with the tag amenity=biergarten, although the combination is also possible (see below), if a designated outdoor area of an outdoor gastronomy permits this and the service is adjusted to it.
In the small areas of cafes (often ice-cream parlors), pubs and snack restaurants, the outside seating is always reopened only in good weather at the opening times, the registration of the outside area is to be dispensed with. Here only the main day with outdoor_seating=yes. Another possibility is to record the approximate season with seasonal = *.
