Thank you. Do you see the use of present perfect as OK here?

4. Do you know anyone who has owned a restaurant?

Is the 'service' here countable or uncountable?

6. Have you been to a place with valet service?

Do you find the use of these contradictory? Why one use seems to be based on countable nature and the other uncountable nature?
