Drink/Food Stand Eating Areas

Perhaps we could look into other options than just the typical benches and chairs. We could use rocks in the area, cover them with cushions or canvases, or I think bar/drink stands would be interesting too. If there was an are with many of these, and perhaps people would buy some food, or get samples from the demo kitchen and eat and mingle. Not sitting would encourage them to walk and socialize. Once seats are occupied, it often feels like a do not enter zone.
