OSM became a company list as soon as the third business was added.
Lists of things is what the database is all about, it's just that
the most common way of representing them is geographically spaced
out on a map, instead of an Excel spreadsheet.<br>
<br>
Apart from size, I fail to see the difference between a cottage
industry baking cupcakes in the kitchen & Mr Kipling churning
out battenbergs by the mile in huge factories. The FHRS database
listing a business at a domestic address is verification IMO.<br>
<br>
Some see FHRS as a means to an end, by adding address data, which is
fine, but I see it as an end in itself, referencing a well
maintained external database providing information that's too
ephemeral for OSM.<br>

<p>Some <span>FHRS </span>entries refer to people<span>’</span>s
names, or to business names, with the address of a private
house. These may be people who cook from home or itinerantly.
Is it however appropriate for OSM to map these addresses as
anything more than houses, for example by adding fhrs:id or
the name in the FHRS data set?</p>
