How do you know? I've found at least three restaurants, non-chain, in my neighborhood that have ghost websites and phone numbers set up. I don't know whether the restaurants know/agree/have licensed, but I suspect not, and suspect it's a larger/legally cautious place, because I have called to order and heard very precise/specific phrasing:

"Hello, I can take your to-go order for Restaurant!"

"Is this Restaurant?"

"I can take your order for Restaurant whenever you're ready!"

as in carefully coached to never actually say, just imply, that they are Restaurant.
