[QUOTE=MegademiC;2788693]Exit if possible.[/QUOTE
Best strategy, I always try to sit near an exit, preferably a locked exit - generally these are alarmed; also near the kitchen is an option, through the kitchen out the back door. Discuss you thought process with your family - those you hang with. Make sure that if you say 'kitchen exit, now' or 'out the door, now' there is no back talk or discussion. My kids rolled their eyes, but they knew where the exits were and knew what to do after they exited, after I had gone over it several times. There mon was a deputy, so she understood the process:
1) exit (going through the exit door or kitchen say robbery, come with us AFTER you have passed folks)
2) safety - cover and distance
3) communicate - call 911 after 1 and 2 are accomplished
4) be a witness

Taking them as they come through the entrance is somewhat problematic if you don't get them all, or if they have associates who you didn't identify. Dependent on the restaurant type, it could end up as a they are outside and you are in the very visible box.
Under any circumstances, taking on multiple assailants single-handedly is problematic (DUH ) You have to put them down. Before adding that to your plan, realistically assess your ability - do you have the ability to deliver rapid precision shots on multiple targets, i.e. head shots at 15 to 20 feet. Can you shoot with precision while moving? Standing still in a gunfight with multiple adversaries is likely a recipe for disaster. This isn't Call of Duty where you get to reset - more than two assailants and your likelihood of prevailing is unlikely.

Statistically complying and letting your money walk is the best alternative.
Think about what would cause you to deviate from that plan. I would become more concerned and ready to act if they started herding folks to back rooms or shot anyone.
I'm not going to go further other than saying that if you plan to win a gunfight you need to make it as unfair as possible for the other folks involved.

Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
