How do I calculate the Occupant Load for the following pizza restaurant areas?

Employee space behind bar seating (with sinks, food equipment, etc.)? Is this standing space with deductions for the built-in furnishings used by employees?

Varying 7 - 9 ft wide x 50 ft long walkway space between the table & chair seating area and the bar seating area? Is this calculated as tables and chair space (15 net)?

11 ft wide x 12 ft long walkway space between booths?

7 ft wide x 11 ft long walkway space between table & chair section and the checkout counter.

Employee side of checkout counter? The checkout counter itself?

6 ft wide x 10 ft long walkway space between the checkout counter and the kitchen?

Thanks
 
Count the employee areas at 1-200 gross and the rest at 1-15 net which would include the walking spaces. If seating is fixed then count the seats.
