Themed dining rooms

Each John's location is approximately 60,000 square feet and has five or six themed dining rooms depending on location. Cabin Fever is similar to a Lake Tahoe-style environment with pine chairs, log-covered walls and a fireplace. The Toon Time Theatre (or FUN-Ology) plays cartoons on the television (either programming by Cartoon Network's Boomerang or Disney Junior depending on location) and projection screens throughout the room. The Hall of Fame is like a sports bar with team memorabilia and games on the big-screen televisions. The Vertical Room is an extreme sports room where the customer can watch motocross racing, extreme golf, surfing, snowboarding, or Disney XD. The Fusion Room, or the retreat room, is a room that plays music videos. The Veranda Room is an adult-centered tropical-themed dining room that presents a resort-like atmosphere with windows and wood furnishings.

A family entertainment center, often abbreviated FEC in the entertainment industry, also known as an indoor amusement park, family amusement center, family fun center, soft play, or simply fun center, is a small amusement park marketed towards families with small children to teenagers, often entirely indoors. They usually cater to "sub-regional markets of larger metropolitan areas." FECs are generally small compared to full-scale amusement parks, with fewer attractions, a lower per-person per-hour cost to consumers than a traditional amusement park, and not usually major tourist attractions, but sustained by an area customer base. Many are locally owned and operated, although there are a number of chains and franchises in the field. Some, operated by non-profit organizations as children's museums or science museums, tend to be geared toward edutainment experiences rather than simply amusement.
