Some of the inconsistencies I found in the Washington DC area were with my own edits :() In my earlier edits, I regarded places like Chipotle and even Subway as restaurants. Although healthier, I now definitely regard Subway as fast food and in more recent edits tagged it that way. Then I learned about our zoning criteria and realized "fast casual" places like Chipotle could also be regarded as fast food... fast casual places tend to be a little bit nicer, the food better and not regarded the same way as McDonalds. In the database for just the Washington DC area, we have six Chipotles tagged as amenity=fast_food (mostly added by myself, but by four users in all) and seven tagged as amenity=restaurant. (mostly added by me, by four users total) All the Chipotles I have been to are consistent in every aspect, unlike Pizza Huts which can vary. Although from the discussion, it seems like either amenity=restaurant or amenity=fast_food and mixed tags would be okay in general, I still would like some guidance or suggestions on what to do for tagging Chipotle, as a specific case. In other cases, I'm fine with having some variation (especially across different regions) and the renderer can deal with it.
