[OSM-talk-be] Tagging a restaurant that offers electricity to customers

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to amend the charging-stations/restaurants theme on 
mapcomplete and want to add wether a restaurant/pub/cafe/... offers 
access to electricity (e.g. to take the battery of your electrical bike 
inside to charge it, or to charge your phone).

However, I'm a bit conflicted on which tagging to use. I'm thinking in 
the direction of `service:electricity=yes|customers|no|ask_staff`. 
`service:bicycle:charging` would be fitting too, however, access to 
electricity is broader then just charging bicycles and I don't think you 
can take you bicycle inside of most restaurants.

Note that charging stations (e.g. a plug provided at the bicycle 
parking) should be mapped as a separate point with 
`amenity=charging_station` (eventually with `access=customers`).

Anyone have an opinion on this?
