This seems to be "tagging for the renderer" which is not a good idea.  If
the only thing occupying the building is a single POI, then put the POI
tags on the closed Way for the building outline.  By adding a new object
(Node) for the POI, you are also going against the "One feature, one OSM
element" idea.  There are renderers in existence that will display both the
house number and the name of a restaurant with food icon.
