Included for context:

Would this be the customers entrance? I think it is, but the description 
is not clear.


Or would it be the entrance for goods to arrive? For some shops these 
are the same, for most they would be separate.

There is already the entrance=service that says 'employees or for 
delivering' which is unfortunate. There is already highway=service with 
service=*. And then 'delivering' does not cover goods going out.

These are often gates and not entrances (looking at the whole factory).
Some butchers shops have a delivery that is separate from the customers 
entry.

Some can be seen from public areas.

I think entrance=service is 'underdoing it'. :) Sometimes on entrance 
may do a few things? OSM already provides for multiple values using 
semicolons.
