Turn Anything You Place

Every station now faces one of four ways. In Edit Layout, press R over a station to turn it a quarter clockwise. While placing something you've just bought, R turns it before you click.
A small arrow on the tile under the cursor shows which way the station faces.
The default restaurant's stations face sensible ways. The fridge and grill have their backs to the north wall, and the sink its back to the south wall. The prep stations face the cooks, and the waiting chairs face into the room. The podium now uses its front-on art, with the host standing behind it.
A guest in a waiting chair sits facing whichever way the chair is turned.
A facing is part of the station, so it stays when the station is dragged, and any future layout save will keep it. The game has no save feature yet.
The toilet still picks its own facing from the walls around it, and tables are square, so neither turns.
For now, turning a station changes only how it looks. Using stations from their front comes next.
The animated clip (110, recorded on v0.0.50) shows R pressed four times over a waiting chair: it turns through all four facings, and the arrow follows its front.
