Amigos,

I no longer feel this proposal is appropriate, therefore I'm canceling it.
Thanks for all your comments.

I am creating another proposal to describe the serving system of a
restaurant.
It is based on all_you_can_eat:type from this proposal, which I found to be
quite interesting when used properly.
It is still in *Draft* status, and can be seen in the following link:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Serving_System

Cheers,
John

 I remember having been to restaurants here in Brazil where the food
 that is served as all you can eat is not exactly the same as the one
 you may order from a regular menu. Not far from my home there is a
 restaurant that serves 3 cuisines at different times of the day
 (italian and japanese for dinner, and an all-you-can-eat regional
 buffet for lunch; I'm sure but they may operate a cafe for breakfast).
 Place all the values in the cuisine tag and you won't be able to tell
 at which time each cuisine is offered. How do you express that the
 all-you-can-eat service is offered only for the regional cuisine?
 Answer: you need 2 objects (nodes or areas) for that.

 But anyway, I'm with Martin, it's best to use :service_times to avoid
 confusion with the regular opening_hours tag. The place is usually
 open (offering its regular service) for a longer period than that in
 which it offers an all you can eat service.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - All You Can Eat

2014-02-28 Thread John Packer

 When you say no longer appropriate, do you mean to say the
 all_you_can_eat idea is not appropriate, or that working through the
 approval procedure got bogged down? ;-)

I feel the idea is not appropriate, at least not to my initial needs. I
started this proposal to be able to tag some buffets and rodízios (which
usually are all-you-can-eat), and tried to be more generic.
But seeing the comments and after further reflection, I think I got off
track. That's why I am drafting another proposal to directly address my
needs (how to tag some kinds of serving systems).

In a first reading of the new proposal I see you did not include
 all_you_can_eat as a value or tag and I assume you now want to use
 buffet, smorgasbord, etc., to indirectly say that, right?

There is some overlap, but I believe tagging something as a buffet doesn't
necessarily mean it would be an all-you-can-eat option.
A rodízio hardly will not be an all-you-can-eat option, but this is not
100% of certainty either.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - All You Can Eat

2014-02-17 Thread Fernando Trebien
I'm not sure I understood everything you said, John, specially about
interval. Would you update your proposal and send it to us the way
you think it should be?

I suggested serving system because that's how Wikipedia describes
it. I think I know English well, but since I'm not a native speaker,
I'd rather suggest something said or written by a native.

I also think that using accents in tags and tag values (except in real
names) creates unnecessary complexity for non-Brazilian developers
(and even for the Brazilians themselves). If rodizio is enough, then
stick with simplicity.

I still think that opening_hours as a subtag would be an unnecessary
specialization that would only be needed rarely. Can you provide an
example in which you would not be able to represent that information
in a different way? (such as using two or more geometric objects)

On Sat, Feb 15, 2014 at 11:11 PM, John Packer john.pack...@gmail.com wrote:
 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
 they are used more frequently, but the others not so much.

 I do think this particular pricing scheme(all_you_can_eat) is useful.
 However I do agree that perhaps it would be better to include other pricing
 schemes.
 The problem is, I have no idea how they are called, or what they are. For
 example, what is this daily menu you speak of?
 Also, one place may have more than one pricing scheme, so I'm not sure the
 additional complexity is worth it.
 I still think all_you_can_eat=yes/no/only is a good idea.

 I understand there is some resistance to all_you_can_eat:opening_hours, but
 I do think it's genuinely useful, as long as it is only used when it is
 meant to be used(it is not a replacement of opening_hours). I gave one
 example of use of all_you_can_eat:opening_hours=* in my previous message.
 Another example is a restaurant that only offers all-you-can-eat options
 during lunch, and not during breakfast or dinner.
 But due to it's complexity(and the small number of cases), perhaps I should
 add a new value called interval to all_you_can_eat, which would mean this
 option is not available at all times. I believe this would be enough to
 kill all_you_can_eat:opening_hours.

 I actually was having the same idea of ftrebien: splitting
 all_you_can_eat:type into a new tag. Because to describe the way the food is
 served is one of my main purposes for creating this proposal. I was thinking
 of serving_style, but serving_system is also good.


 serving_system:food=buffet/rodízio/smörgåsbord/conveyor_belt/à_la_carte/korean_barbecue/table_d'hôte/...

 (each of the above values links to it's wikipedia article; you can see each
 style's peculiarities)
 It seems there are others, that's why it's important to leave this as an
 open set.

 The main reason I thought of splitting it into a new tag is because serving
 styles like buffet and conveyor belt does not necessarily means
 all-you-can-eat.



 2014-02-15 22:13 GMT-02:00 Fernando Trebien fernando.treb...@gmail.com:

 +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 previously)

 In extreme cases (e.g. two services with completely different
 characteristics - different serving systems, pricing schemes and
 cuisines - offered at the same time of the day), if you're really
 picky, the best you can do is replicate the mapping of the same
 restaurant for each kind of service it offers, each instance with its
 own tags. (However, the usual recommendation is to choose the
 primary values for each tag.)

 I think it's absolutely ok to abbreviate all-you-can-eat by ayce, even
 though this is more common in tag names (such as hgv, psv, addr, hov
 and ele) than in tag values in OSM. Casual editors (using iD or
 Potlatch) would rarely use the tag directly (they can easily get a
 friendly named preset or option box, as they do for many tags today)
 and advanced users should read the wiki at least once anyway, even for
 tags that look deceptively obvious when ignoring the OSM context (e.g.
 highway=track, understood differently in many places mainly due to
 inexact translation).

we have those in the US too. there are a number of Indian restaurants
here in the capital district of NY that offer table service for dinner and
a buffet at lunch time. i suspect that this is very common.

I never went to a restaurant with *dim sum*, but reading about it on

In a rodízio, the waiters go around offering food, and don't leave food on
a table unless requested by the clients upon offering. Also, in rodízio,
the food doesn't come in plates, so there is no system for counting the

 So now, what's the difference in /serving style/ between rodizio and dim
 sum?

 I never went to a restaurant with *dim sum*, but reading about it on
 wikipedia, I would say the differences are:
 In a rodízio, the waiters go around offering food, and don't leave food
 on a table unless requested by the clients upon offering. Also, in rodízio,
 the food doesn't come in plates, so there is no system for counting the
 expenses(I haven't heard of a rodízio that's not all-you-can-eat).

 if the value is conveyor_belt, then people sit around a rotating
 table which carries the food(probably always used for sushi); and so on.

 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 would serve the purpose.



 It should only be used for special cases. For example, if a cafe has
 an all-you-can-eat happy hour every friday afternoon, then you might
 include all_you_can_eat:opening_hours=Fr 14:00-18:00.

 This all seems like too much microtagging..

 The problem with cuisine=all_you_can_eat is that All you can eat is
 a pricing scheme, not a cuisine.  This would prevent tagging with the
 actual cuisine, such as cuisine=Chinese or cuisine=Mediterranean.

 cuisine=* should be reserved for the actual type of food, not the

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

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 information about the pricing scheme is relevant (which 
I don't), why not make a general tag:

Pricing_scheme=all_you_can_eat
Pricing_scheme=daily_menu

+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 previously)

In extreme cases (e.g. two services with completely different
characteristics - different serving systems, pricing schemes and
cuisines - offered at the same time of the day), if you're really
picky, the best you can do is replicate the mapping of the same
restaurant for each kind of service it offers, each instance with its
own tags. (However, the usual recommendation is to choose the
primary values for each tag.)

I think it's absolutely ok to abbreviate all-you-can-eat by ayce, even
though this is more common in tag names (such as hgv, psv, addr, hov
and ele) than in tag values in OSM. Casual editors (using iD or
Potlatch) would rarely use the tag directly (they can easily get a
friendly named preset or option box, as they do for many tags today)
and advanced users should read the wiki at least once anyway, even for
tags that look deceptively obvious when ignoring the OSM context (e.g.
highway=track, understood differently in many places mainly due to
inexact translation).

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 quite popular here in Thailand,
referred to as Korean BBQ or moo gratah, that could make use of the new
tags but it will be a while before I get around to retagging them. Of
course, that's not your concern but mine. LOL

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - All You Can Eat

2014-02-15 Thread John Packer
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
they are used more frequently, but the others not so much.

I do think this particular pricing scheme(all_you_can_eat) is useful.
However I do agree that perhaps it would be better to include other pricing
schemes.
The problem is, I have no idea how they are called, or what they are. For
example, what is this daily menu you speak of?
Also, one place may have more than one pricing scheme, so I'm not sure the
additional complexity is worth it.
I still think all_you_can_eat=yes/no/only is a good idea.

I understand there is some resistance to all_you_can_eat:opening_hours, but
I do think it's genuinely useful, as long as it is only used when it is
meant to be used(it is not a replacement of opening_hours). I gave one
example of use of all_you_can_eat:opening_hours=* in my previous message.
Another example is a restaurant that only offers all-you-can-eat options
during lunch, and not during breakfast or dinner.
But due to it's complexity(and the small number of cases), perhaps I should
add a new value called interval to all_you_can_eat, which would mean
this option is not available at all times. I believe this would be enough
to kill all_you_can_eat:opening_hours.

I actually was having the same idea of ftrebien: splitting
all_you_can_eat:type into a new tag. Because to describe the *way* the food
is served is one of my main purposes for creating this proposal. I was
thinking of serving_style, but serving_system is also good.

 serving_system:food=buffet 
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffet/rodíziohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod%C3%ADzio
 /smörgåsbord http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%B6rg%C3%A5sbord/
 conveyor_belt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conveyor_belt_sushi/
 à_la_carte 
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%80_la_carte/korean_barbecuehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_BBQ
 /table_d'hôte https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_d%27h%C3%B4te/...

(each of the above values links to it's wikipedia article; you can see each
style's peculiarities)
 It seems there are others, that's why it's important to leave this as an
open set.

The main reason I thought of splitting it into a new tag is because serving
styles like buffet and conveyor belt does not necessarily means
all-you-can-eat.

The closest I was able to find were 2 uses of cuisine=all_you_can_eat, 
1 use of note=all_you_can_eat, 5 uses of buffet=yes and 68 uses of 
cuisine=buffet.
The tag cuisine=buffet might have a considerable number of uses, 
however cuisine=* describes the type of food, not /the way/ the food 
is served.
Also my proposal is not specific to buffets, and allows other styles 
of all-you-can-eat syles(like rodízios).


I'm not sure about the other countries, but I can say this tag will be 
pretty useful in Brazil, where things like rodízios and buffets are 
considerably common.

Of course, I tried to include every case I could imagine.

I'm not convinced that this necessarily needs a proposal...

The problem with cuisine=all_you_can_eat is that All you can eat is 
a pricing scheme, not a cuisine.  This would prevent tagging with the 
actual cuisine, such as cuisine=Chinese or cuisine=Mediterranean.

cuisine=* should be reserved for the actual type of food, not the
pricing/serving scheme.
