It seems I was too brief in my initial email, so let me clarify. What I am proposing *is not* cuisine=all_you_can_eat. I am proposing three new tags: all_you_can_eat, all_you_can_eat:opening_hours and all_you_can_eat:type. I am in complete agreement cuisine=all_you can_eat and cuisine=buffet are

So, what you're proposing are several tags that could be used in conjunction with amenity=restaurant, correct? For example: all_you_can_eat=yes all_you_can_eat:type=pizza Fine so far, but I cannot see a need for a separate all_you_can_eat:opening_hours subtag when the normal opening_hours tag wou

Actually, all_you_can_eat:type=* describes the *way* the food is served. If the value is buffet, then people go to the food to get it; if the value is rodízio, then waiters go around the restaurant offering samples of food to each table; if the value is conveyor_belt, then people sit around a rotat

Hi there, According to the results of the first RFC on my original proposal tourism=holiday_flat, I renamed the tag tourism=apartment. I therefore open a second (short) RFC phase on this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/apartment Many thanks for your inputs. greetings, n

Hi John, I do not understand why this is useful. The suggest tag is too long, to specific. I do not understand the need for a special all_you_can_eat:opening_hours > The problem with "cuisine=all_you_can_eat" is that "All you can eat" is > a pricing scheme, If you really think the informatio

I would prefer the plural tourism=apartments. In the picture in the wiki page, you will not tag every individual apartment, but rather the entire block of apartment, right? -- Matthijs On 15 February 2014 20:30, nounours77 wrote: > Hi there, > > According to the results of the first RFC on my or

+1 for pricing_scheme, +1 against the :opening_hours subtag What nounours77 proposes is simpler, easier to map, easier to understand and easier to consume in applications. I also suggest another tag: serving_system=buffet/smorgasbord/a_la_carte/table_d_hote (read up that Wikipedia link I've sent

John, Thanks for the clarification. I reckon I can now agree with your intent and the wording of this proposal. As an aside though, I wonder how many mappers will take the trouble to tag such restaurants with the full compliment of tags you want to provide. There is a similar type of restaurant q

I sincerely don't think it's length is a problem. There are longer accepted tags(like parking:condition:right:time_interval), and to shorten it would make it harder to remember and recognize (i.e. humans would be the ones paying the price). Tags like addr:* and ele are okay to abbreviate because th
