Well not isolating but you have the option to eat in or out then if it's busy.
It's not actually 'safe' is it? They didn't have to introduce the half price thing imo as in a socially distanced place they would've got the capacity at full price. This as said encourages risks like queues and places ignoring social distancing guidelines.

It could be seen as a herd immunity tactic, in an enclosed space maskless, touching chairs and things. otherwise what is the point?
