Well, OsmAnd lets you see different categories of buildings in different colors. I was actually going to try this out in a branch of the standard style (Openstreetmap Carto) to see if it could help. Right now the main categories of buildings fit with the areas: building=retail with landuse=retail building=office with landuse=commercial building=school with amenity=school etc
And if restaurants are a type of retail, the building type should be a subcategory of retail.
