No.
Missing lower beam at north prep.
Structural grid isn't necessary.

Yes.
If so, do I need to provide another lower beam for the north wall of cafe?
No. That wall is not interrupted by a low roof.
2. Once I add the lower beam at north prep, should the joist for prep still go all the way to north wall of prep? In that way the northmost joist will be overlapped with the beam.
Always draw to centerlines.
