These two questions have different meanings and usage:

1. "Do you have a restaurant?"

This question is asking a specific person or business if they own or operate a restaurant.

It is usually asked in situations like:
✅ Talking to a hotel owner: "Do you have a restaurant in this hotel?"
✅ Asking a friend: "Do you have a restaurant?" (Meaning: "Do you own a restaurant?")


2. "Is there a restaurant?"

This question is asking if a restaurant exists in a certain place (not about ownership).

It is usually asked in situations like:
✅ "Is there a restaurant nearby?" (Asking if a restaurant exists in the area.)
✅ "Is there a restaurant in this hotel?" (Asking if the hotel has one, but not directly to the owner.)


Key Difference:

"Do you have a restaurant?" → Asking if someone owns or operates a restaurant.

"Is there a restaurant?" → Asking about the existence of a restaurant in a location.
