Restaurant or its customer (5)
I believe the answer is:
diner
'restaurant' is the definition.
(diner is a kind of restaurant)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diner that I've seen before include "Buffet car" , "Small US restaurant" , "US eatery" , "American cafe" , "One taking a meal" .)
