Impact doors (aka traffic doors) provide easy access to high traffic areas Restaurants cannot do without traffic doors, also known as impact doors. These traffic doors can swing in, out or both ways, allowing people to come and go easily through high traffic areas such as a kitchen and dividing private areas from public view.

I recommend:  Chase Doors is a manufacturer of double acting traffic doors and offers a variety of restaurant swinging impact doors in single or double door configurations in retro and contemporary styles.

Revolving doors allow high traffic while keeping the elements out Using revolving doors for your exterior doors offer several benefits over traditional front entry doors. They provide an airlock to keep your lobby or business climate-controlled. Revolving doors can also provide extra security in that some are equipped with bulletproof glass for use in high security applications such as banks. Revolving doors also control traffic by limiting the number of people who can enter the building at one time, which is useful in areas where people have to go through security checkpoints before entering.
