This is the missing ice cream shop I think. But if they serve other food, it's made to order, and they have table service - restaurant. > * Fuddruckers (restaurant or fast food?) tough call > * Panera Bread (restaurant or cafe?) cafe - food is made to order, and while fast, it's real food. Basically my rules are: restaurant: full menu, table service, can walk in for dinner or lunch and get a proper meal fast food: pre-made hamburgers etc. with counter ordering. tends to be not 'real food' from the foodie-nut point of view. definitely burger king etc. is this category. I also put dunkin donuts in this category. cafe: place to get coffee and light food, typically no table service, but limited menu. (You may ask: what's the difference between cafe and fast food? 1) cafe has 'real food' vs chemically engineered pseudofood. 2) cafe tends to be a nice place to go vs a place to go when you don't have time to eat and are desparate. That has lots of bias, but it's an important distinction. I'd put starbucks here, just barely. independent coffee shops almost certainly. ice cream stand - this is tough, and it's sort of like a cafe that has ice cream instead. I try to think: what will map users want to know. This is all heading down the slippery slope of a full ontology for the world and also encoding judgement. My bias is clear: a cafe is a nice place to go, fast food is to be avoided.
