    If I drive / walk past & see Papa Luigi's Pizza Shop, with no

    opening hours, takeaway / delivery etc. If I'm feeling
    particularly enthusiastic :-), it will usually also tell me how
    many tables, indoor / outdoor & so on.


I tend to do it that way too.  It's time consuming to write down the opening hours.  Getting close enough for a readable photo makes people wondering why you're taking pictures of the people inside.  And I usually have to google to find out if there's a website to tag (mostly there is) so it's a lot easier to also get opening hours that way.   Sometimes they don't put opening hours on the web site but  these days they usually do. It's also often an easy way to get the phone number (not always on display) and sometimes even the number for the address (around here identifying one's house or business with a house name or number
on the building itself seems optional).

    Isn't this the simplest way of finding missing info?


That's what I thought.  But apparently some people don't like doing it that way or think it's more work.

Most websites have some copyright thing .. that makes some nervous.
I usually only tag things that interest me, and stuff I like to support.
