not sure about this. Around here you can come dressed as you like to any kind of restaurant, or is this casual/not-casual referring to the waiters and staff? Or the availability/complexity of table cloth, napkins etc.? Or to the eating manners? I am not saying that this destinction might not work in some settings/contexts, but fast_food vs. restaurant seems way more useful and easier to decide where I map. Additionally where I find it useful I am adding the tag "restaurant:type:it" to all kind of places where you can find something to eat (even bars and cafes etc.) and add a list of semicolon separated autodeclarations (buzzwords the business has on its signage besides the name) of the place (in the local language) as values: http://taginfo.osm.org/keys/restaurant%3Atype%3Ait I believe this is usefull as there are no English words to catch the fine nuances of the original words. cheers, Martin btw: regarding the McDonald's places I have seen I think there is no doubt that these don't belong into the restaurant category of OSM. I would be more inclined to tag them as leisure=playground than as amenity=restaurant ;-)
