(the fact that the actress is the same doesn't make it a spin-off--in Cheers she played a cheery British barmaid かつ in C.A. she was a crusty American restaurateuse.) However, it is an example of a rip-off sitcom (using the same basic premise that has succeeded elsewhere).

     A hot dog stand with an adjoining picnic table would qualify as a "restaurant." In the spectrum of dining establishments, a Subway or other fast-food franchise is more of a food factory than a service establishment. The savvy needed to operate one is different from, say, managing La Mer Duquesne, a Dennys, or even a chain of IHOPs. To own/operate a franchise may very well be demanding and entrepreneurial, but to call her a restaurateur (restaurateuse?) is stretching the connotation.
