Doesn't the information change too much to be put into OSM directly? Especially as opening times tries to take account of special opening hours for Christmas and Bank holidays etc.? It is an open site, but I kind of think that the data should go the other way around, so they should keep the OSM IDs as part of the information about each location, and provide a web service to search by OSM id.
