Again, I still don't have enough information about your "takeaway"
places, but if you are not satisfied with takeaway=only + capacity=0,
could it be also solved via subtagging?

I can see someone started experimented with
amenity=restaurant + restaurant=diner

And:
amenity=fast_food + fast_food=van/truck/street_kitchen

It even has a wiki page, although it also fell victim to Mr.
Jeisenbe's art of deleting information:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:fast_food&oldid=1929947

Would fast_food=diner or fast_food=takeaway cover your use cases (not
sure about the difference)?
