ENGLISH DISLOCATION

              
“You’d better” sounds like a very passive aggressive threat. The intended sentence is probably a warning that the restaurant’s peak time will end in 2 hours and that service will improve at this time, leading to a more enjoyable meal. It would be better to say, “A gentle reminder. You will have a more enjoyable meal in 2 hours”.

                 
At the very least, this sign should say “break” not “brake” but as for the rest, I honestly have no idea what it’s trying to say. Is the sign really asking you to break a wall? Is that even possible?

                 
Drinking a car would be impossible! Eating it would be easier but still very difficult. Better would be to say, “Don’t drink and drive”, making the whole thing much clearer to everyone.
