It seems to be a good idea but most of these food chains are located in front and in most cases on the ground floor/street level and most of them have a visible signage. Take for example Glorietta, most of the establishments have street level entrance <br>
<br>
Suggestion:<br>
maybe we can add these mall POIs in such a way that it is not confusing and overwhelming. <br>
<br>
When I say overwhelming, think of Mall of Asia if we add all establishments with street level entrance it would literally darken the perimeter of the building with all the POIs. Well this is just my thoughts and I could be wrong. :)<br>
