[Talk-us] Fast food vs. restaurant vs. cafe

[Katie Filbert]

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.

* Baskin Robbins (fast food?)
* Chipotle Mexican Grill (fast food or restaurant?)
* COSI (restaurant or cafe?)
* Five Guys (restaurant or fast food?)
* Fuddruckers (restaurant or fast food?)
* Panera Bread (restaurant or cafe?)
* Pizza Hut (restaurant or fast food?)
* Potbelly (restaurant or cafe?)

others?

I set up a wiki page where you can give feedback, or feedback on the mailing
list is fine too.

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.
