Hello, I thought about unifying large store/restaurant chains with several locations for many times now. There are some tags that are applicable to all locations of a specific brand like brand=*, amenity=*/shop=*, cuisine=* for restaurants and for some also name=*. Espacially name=* and brand=* are important to find and filter POI.
To have an overview I created a list in the wiki <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Doktorpixel14/Brands> which includes applicable tags of some brands, but it's still under construction and only shows the ones that I know. So feel free to help. I already did a small unification for "Applebee's" locations in Ohio (see this changeset <https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/58652839>). To do so I filtered out name=Applebee's and name=Applebees via Overpass and reviewed the changes manually. Even though I did the changes manually, this is sort of a mechanical edit, which is the reason for me to ask on this mailing list on your opinion about such changes. And also: What do you think of having such a list of brands? Hope to hear some opinions, Leon/doktorpixel14
