I'm interested in feedback on how to tag particular chain restaurants/places. I have a copy of the OSM planet database and see inconsistencies in how these places are tagged. <br><br>* Baskin Robbins (fast food?)<br>
* Chipotle Mexican Grill (fast food or restaurant?)<br>* COSI (restaurant or cafe?)<br>* Five Guys (restaurant or fast food?)<br>* Fuddruckers (restaurant or fast food?)<br>* Panera Bread (restaurant or cafe?)<br>* Pizza Hut (restaurant or fast food?)<br>
* Potbelly (restaurant or cafe?)<br><br>others?<br><br>I set up a wiki page where you can give feedback, or feedback on the mailing list is fine too.<br><br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag_guide">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag_guide</a><br clear="all">
<br>To guide the fast food or restaurant question, I consider whether food is paid for prior to eating (e.g. at a counter) and whether or not disposable plates, utensils, etc. are used. This is often consistent with criteria used in classifying places for zoning purposes.<br>
