That, and external entrances means they can dictate their own hours independent of interior mall hours.

Just by looking at the map of the Rideau Center, there's no reason why either Joey or Score can't have both an external entrance and an internal mall entrance.
As HighwayStar mentioned, the inside entrance could be locked when the mall closes, though I've noticed that the mall concourse stays open later than the restaurants anyways.
Right now, none of these restaurants feel integrated into the mall, despite being tenants of the mall. I know when I went to Joeys Rideau with my wife on a bitter winter night, we would've appreciated an inside mall entrance over having to go outside to get into the restaurant.
