It's a common idiom in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. I cannot guarantee that it is always the case, but every takeaway I recall has sold fast food of some kind. Few people would want to stand in a queue while raw food is cooked for them. The places aren't large enough for the size of queue that would build up at peak times if people were prepared to wait. Chip shops occasionally run out of chips or something else and the 10 minute wait seems interminable, so people often change their order or walk out. Pretty much all takeaways sell only fast food. Not all fast food outlets are takeaway=only. > Maybe tag them amenity=takeaway Good idea. Except that value is not officially agreed and isn't rendered.

That goes contrary to many people's expectations. And sort of implies that takeaways don't serve fast food. In any case, given the number of places already mapped, retagging of that sort isn't feasible. What we have isn't very good. I don't see any feasible way of making it much better. Maybe split off coffee shop from cafe (except we'll never agree on a name because people will want to map tea houses and bubble tea places, and juice-only places, and milk bars). -- Paul
