One shows only a few shops, often the ones that pay the most, the other shows the true number of different places in the area.

Looks neat, but most of the time just sits on 'loading data' and when I can get it to load, doesn't show anything for like 100 mile radius around me lol

@MangoPenguin @pietervdvn You're exactly the kind of person who can make a difference by adding this data!

I've found it a lot easier to map for my own dietary needs/preferences.
Just try to open up mapcomplete next time when you're in a restaurant and answer a few questions, it's really worth it!

StreetComplete does have a couple of quests for this that default to disabled so you can turn them on if you're interested.
