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.

@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!
For my area it wouldn't really be possible, there's maybe 1 place that regularly has gluten free stuff, but the rest need real-time data pulled from their facebook or something because it changes daily/weekly what they offer.
Then, please, add this single place :)
You might make the difference for someone else

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