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>/rodízio<http://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_barbecue<http://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. 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.
