The current definition in our wiki is: amenity=restaurant is for a generally formal place with sit-down facilities selling full meals served by waiters and often licensed (where allowed) to sell alcoholic drinks.


This is less broad than the Wikipedia definition and excludes most fast food places. We re already using restaurant:type (localized :it) for multivalue lists of restaurant types, eg. osteria or ristorante;pizzeria;steak_house or bar;tavola_calda. Etc. (according to the self-declaration of the business). https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/restaurant%3Atype%3Ait#values
fast food hardly fits into this existing scheme.

I don't believe the osm scheme is the only possible, and it is surely possible to add more detailed tags, but we shouldn't redefine the principal established tags (at most you could try to establish an alternative and deprecate the current tags).


FWIW, in Italy we are using 2 types of tags for pizza, amenity=fast_food (pizza al taglio / slices) and amenity=restaurant (pizzeria)
Both with cuisine=pizza
There is also oven=wood_fired as attribute: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/oven=wood_fired#overview

Cheers,
Martin
