In this case<br>
<br>

<br>
Only KFC, Gerry's Grill and Pizza Hut have street level/accessible entrance. So if we agree on that "rule of thumb" to mapped only if they have a separate entrance. Should I remove Jollibee and McDonald's? Or retain the data as long as it is not cluttered?<br>
<br>
And in another case<br>
<br>
http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=7.062681&lon=125.593989&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF<br>
<br>
All of these food chains do not have a street level entrance.<br>
