At Venn's Café Deli Bar, there is one totally gigantic table that's marked out in a complex series of inscribed circles each one featuring a number. Some of the circles overlap, while others sit in isolation. Each circle also contains a hole that houses a protruding chair where the diners must sit. (they have to crawl along the floor, following a series of arrows to access their place setting.)

The whole purpose of Venn's Café Deli Bar is to distribute a complex set of meals according to the rules of a Venn Diagram. A comprehensive menu outlines all of the permutations available. These correspond to the map of the table in order for the diners know where to sit.

Only the items described on the Venn Diagram are available. For example: Diner A in the purple jacket will get a vegan burger, and an extra portion of skinny fries, with a low alcohol organic beer, but without mushy peas or chocolate sprinkles on their desert.

The food is delivered via an overhead gantry and grab system, with the plates loaded in the kitchen, then lowered unto the table to the exact location specified.

Venn's Café Deli Bar welcomes all discerning diners who know exactly what they want, which they will get provided it's on the menu.

"We want Venn wines, the Vennest known to humanity and we want them now" (with apologies to all Richard E. Grant and all others connected to Withnail And I)

       You could also use this to host wedding parties and decide where all of your friends and relatives sit.

       Nothing prevents replica meals. They simply all occupy the same set.

       Already baked in that each premises offers only the food items prepared in that venue. If I go to Selfridges and stand at the pie counter I can't order seagulls eggs, and I can't order oysters and champagne. I would need to walk to the respective counters to get those items, and those counters don't have pies. However there is surely a restaurant somewhere in London where you can go to order a seagull egg and oyster pie with a glass of champagne. But that place may not offer pot noodle.
