Right-Handed Cutting, Guests Scoot In, Staff Lean In

Cooks cut right-handed: the knife is in their right hand, handle toward them and blade pointing away, and the cutting board sits on their side of the prep table.
Guests scoot their chair in once they've sat down, and back out when they get up to use the bathroom or to leave.
At the dish sink, the dirty plates and glasses wait on the dry side while one at a time is washed in the soapy water, and each clean one is carried over to its rack.
Staff face whatever they're working at and lean in toward it: a server at the register, the dishwasher at the sink and the trash can, cooks at their stations. (Still: glasses at the sink, and a server leaning in at the register)
The bathroom's paper-towel dispenser shows its new art everywhere (one drawing path still used the old one).
The music waits until the restaurant opens; the prep hour before is quiet.
