Only way I would see this working is a "gamification" thing where - a bit like the "Kort game" of days past (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Kort_Game) and a bit like "StreetComplete" - people who happen to be in a specific location and who have signed up to the game/system are nudged to go check something - "hey since you're standing in front of restaurant X, please check if it still has the property Y". But that would require people to sign up, and of course a server-side application to track contributions, leaderboards and so on. Whether or not the back-end storage is then OpenStreetMap or a separate database is actually a smaller question. Simply establishing a tag and hoping that you have to develop and run neither a backend (because OSM will do it) nor a frontend (because people can use Vespucci) is extremely optimistic.
