This is a cool project, but I'm not OK with normalizing an AI agent that calls every McDonald's in the country periodically to scrape information. If you're scraping a website, that's fine; if you're taking time from real human operators, that's not fine.

This information would be much better obtained via regular crowdsourcing.

How is it different than crowdsourcing?
