Usually, signers start on the side of their dominant hand and move to the opposite side, but starting on either side is perfectly fine. The most important part is clearly touching both corners of the mouth with the 'R' handshape.
Both signs use the exact same location and motion of touching the corners of the mouth. The only difference is the handshape! 'Restaurant' uses an 'R' handshape, while 'cafeteria' uses a 'C' handshape.
You should just tap or lightly touch the corners of your mouth. Dragging your fingers across your lips is a common beginner mistake and can make the sign look a bit messy or confusing.
