Starbuck and mc donald are sponsored pokestop. Bussiness might be eligible but may not be acceptable if its chain or generic. You need to highlight how the business is good place to socialize or explore

Are you getting warning? Submitting those business wont give you warning unless you submit them in wrong location, use 3rd party foto, or other abuse. You can appeal in the link inside email given to you. I assume you got warning and not suspension.
Hello and Welcome @bryantsilvas89
The wayfarer works is about finding real world locations that meet the core criteria of being a great place to be social or exercise or explore. This means that not everywhere is eligible to be a wayspot, and not every wayspot is selected for use on the Pokémon Go gameboard.
That will sound very frustrating to you when you see other places that are in the game whilst you find that a difficult task.
Can you tell us a little bit more about the workplace so we can first check if as a business it is not eligible. There may be something nearby that could be eligible - a walking trail, an item with artistic value, a place to be social?
Hi and welcome - please use normal text without markdown on your posts if possible, I edited the above to a readable font ![]()
Please refer to @elijustrying ‘s explanation regarding your nominations needing to meet criteria. If you are nominating your workplace it may very well not be the case. As @tjoemi said, the businesses you cite, such as McDonald’s and Starbucks, pay for sponsorships to get on the Pokémon GO map.
Just to set expectations right, since you’re talking about poké community and Pokéstops: Wayfarer is a system that manages eligible wayspots for multiple games without any regard about whether they’re eligible to appear in your game of interest; not every single wayspot that goes through Wayfarer is necessarily eligible to appear in Pokémon GO due to its proximity inclusion rules.
