Building=kitchen

Why use amenity=kitchen instead of building=kitchen? Please make a proposal and discuss this on the Tagging mailing list before adding to Map features--Jeisenbe (talk) 13:24, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

In relatively many cases, the kitchen is only part of the building (see usage of nodes). That's why building=kitchen inside a big building is not good. --Is-zUser (talk) 14:21, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

In fact building=kitchen would be great for my purposes which are tagging the building at somebody's farm that's 100% a kitchen but it's not some amenity for the public. Jidanni (talk) 10:41, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

A kitchen at a facility

A facility may have many buildings. One is a kitchen where food is cooked by workers and then brought to another where people then eat the food. Mention how to tag. Jidanni (talk) 02:47, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

A kitchen "where food is cooked by workers" is usually not a "Public kitchen." (See description of Tag). The Tag is not suitable for kitchens as a workplace, which is not open to the public or customers/guests. Maybe room=kitchen ? "where people then eat the food" is not a kitchen, more a canteen (amenity=canteen ?). --Is-zUser (talk) 08:59, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

What about a dedicated building that's not open to the public and there's food preparation facilities inside it. It's not just a room. And a the canteen tag is for the public. Jidanni (talk) 10:21, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

This is about kitchens for use by customers, or publicly accessible kitchens where everyone can cook for themselves. This does not affect any building type. The purpose of OpenStreetMap is to inform non-residents. A employed cook will know where his workplace is. He don't need a map. Private, non-public kitchens are likely to fall under Limitations on mapping private information. If this is not the case and strangers use the kitchen building for themselves, perhaps you can tagging it like this: building=public AND amenity=kitchen. --Is-zUser (talk) 16:57, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
