I prefer this "delivery:partner=*" recommendation on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:delivery . The value could be semicoloned, eg delivery:partner=deliveroo;menulog;ubereats.

Right, maybe we should introduce a code for this to be added along the delivery partners, something like “self”? (naturally this would break if a company called self would offer delivery services).
Maybe the delivery:partner tag should be called delivery:operator (self would fit better)?

yes, just because we agreed on a tagging scheme doesn’t imply we have to add these tags ;-)

I’ve hardly seen signage (yet), but some restaurants have flyers and advertising on the bill.

verifiable facts about a restaurant (or other feature) might not always be verifiable in the feature itself, but still be verifiable for everybody interested in it (elsewhere). If the URL is accessible for everybody it would satisfy the verifiability requirement, wouldn’t it?
