Geared toward

Are both of these correct in regards to the use of “geared toward”?

That is the second proposed Peoria site for Emma's Eatery, a restaurant geared toward married mothers.

The service and staff were very friendly. I'd say it's a restaurant geared towards take away however the setting was nice.

Thanks

ps

which is correct?

Are both of these correct in regards/respect to /with regards to the use of “geared toward”?

anonymous Are both of these correct in regards/respect to /with regards to the use of “geared toward”? in regard to Yes, but it is a lazy catch-all expression. You used "toward" the first time and "towards" the second time.

  • "Toward" is US English, and "towards" is UK, generally speaking.
  • You used "take away", which should be "takeaway", and that is British English.
