Section 334.10 lists the uses permitted, I would check with your building AHJ.
For the smokes, my experience is that is done by the fire marshal, when the contractor pulls the permit, the building dept has a check list for the various requirements (fire, backflow, water, sewer) and they will indicate what is needed.

Just because the restaurant seats over 100 people doesn't make the entire building a place of assembly.

Many EI's will still consider anything not separated by a 1 hour or more finish from the place of assembly to still be considered part of the place of assembly though.

Yet most restuaraunts have ansul systems which are usually made into fire suppression, which may/may not require a dialer
