Could You Have Said It Better?

Is this English? It should be, because the picture from Nothing To Do With Arbroath is labeled Camp Pendleton Dining Hall. The Sodexo Management at the bottom refers to the French multinational corporation that supplies meals for restaurants and institutions like schools, prisons, and military bases. Don’t you think they could have worded it better? Here's my quick attempt:

No take-out with sit-down meals. To go orders cannot be eaten here.

How would you have said the same thing more clearly?


I wonder if this is because of complex sales tax rules on food items - I think in California, if you order take outs from restaurants, they don't charge sales tax. But if you order to eat in, they have to charge sales tax.
