Il serait en effet fondamental de savoir ce que l'on fait dans cette aire ?!
B D Finch Jun 18, 2010:
servitude This usually is a right of way, an easement or a duty; which clearly wouldn't quite be appropriate here. It is not generally about serving food. So I understood it as an area that the site owner had a duty to set aside for staff facilities, which would include the kitchen. Of course, if it is a specific area within the kitchen, then that is wrong.
david_m_weeks Jun 18, 2010:
Maybe the "serving area," or "pass-through," where food is passed from the kitchen to the dining area?
Bourth (X) Jun 18, 2010:
Does your text say what other areas there are in the kitchen, so we can maybe proceed by elimination?

I'd understood it as meaning that the kitchen was part of the site facilities, but perhaps that was wrong.
