A declarative approach would go a long way. Like, I'm not evaluating restaurants on the basis of their website quality, so why not have a restaurant browser and they can all just expose data according to some common schema. Same this with banks. Same thing with most things.

If you want a wildly interactive art experience, just load the appropriate browser for that.

Because restaurants don't want businesses like DoorFash to scrape it.

		Is that at all effective? If you want the data to be publicly available, you have no choice but to make it publicly available. Whatever inconvenience a heavily JavaScript experience can add to motivated scrapers is just not significant. I think it's just a keeping-up-with-the-jonses sort of thing: If the restaurant down the street has a flashy website then I guess we need one too. Having restaurants in competition over the quality if their website is a negative sum game because it distracts them from the food.
