A food court (or food lounge) is a usually indoor place or area within a facility that is contiguous with the counters of multiple food vendors and provides a common area for self-serve dining. Food courts may be found in shopping malls and airports, and in various regions may be a standalone development. In some places of learning such as high schools and universities, food courts have also come to replace or complement traditional cafeterias.

Some mappers have taken to mapping food cart pods as food courts, optionally as areas with landuse=retail, given that they perform the same function, just usually outdoors and with a less permanent assortment of restaurants. This may be temporary as tagging evolves.

How to map

Set a node or draw as an area along the shop outline. Tag it with amenity= and name=*.
