if you have to take the interior into account it can be done sometimes: - large seating area (even noticable when empty) - a bar where the personnel prepares drinks - large kitchen area - a toilet area - a reception area (possible with personnel) or wardrobe - often better access for wheelchairs than a typical house - for fast_food: a counter with large displays to list menus and prices On the outside it can be a villa or a warehouse or a church... m. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
