+Janila Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hello, I am fairly new to Waymarking and I have searched the forums for an answer but haven't come up with anything. Is there a category for independent restaurants that are not ethnic of chains? For example, we have a restaurant that is privately owned and is in "castle" which was built in 1930 as a private home. It doesn't fall under the "castle" category because it wasn't designed to be a defensive home. It doesn't fall under any of the restaurant categories as far as I can tell. It could possibly fall under Odd Shaped buildings although if it were in Europe, it would be a normal building...and also belong to the castle category. We have another restaurant which might fall under the Pubs category but it is more than a pub. Most people go there for the food and for the peanuts that are served as appetizers. My grandkids like it because they can throw the peanut shells on the floor. We are big football fans and we go to sports bars to watch the games. When we are in Florida, we go to one that is totally devoted to our favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Again, it might fall under pubs but it isn't really a pub. If these buildings have categories that you have already used, would you please advise. Or is it possible that it "unique independent restaurants" should have a designated category if it isn't something that I am just missing? Thank you, Jan Quote Link to comment

When did the restaurant start? If it was 50 years ago, you could list it in the Historic Eats category. Quote Link to comment
+elyob Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 When I can't place a restaurant in a category but I want it to be a waymark, I use the Takeout / Delivery Menus category. Quote Link to comment

+bluesnote Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Most places nowadays offer wifi to guests. Maybe the restaurant has wifi? Another idea to waymark it would be in "bookcrossing zones". Almost everything and anything is a bookcrossing zone. Quote Link to comment
