If it is in a strip mall, then the landlord would be required to put in the handicapped accessible restrooms. If the landlord doesn’t fix it, then your friend should be able to get out of any lease and she may be able to sue for damages if the landlord knew she was going to open a restaurant with tables.
These are the stupid regulations that destroy small businesses. They are designed to destroy small businesses.

Excellent advice.

It sure looks that way. The big boys can afford to comply with every little regulation. But the small folks, not so much.
It would depend on the lease agreement and the contract.
