We use many dozens of signals to determine venue quality, not just raw number of check-ins.
And there's definitely manual rules for offices, homes, airports, and other categories that receive disproportionate numbers of check-ins.

Please don't be tempted to go down the "extort small businesses" path that Yelp seems to, though.
I heard you guys had to move offices during the hurricane to further up in midtown. Were you rolling this out during that move?
Yeah, our SoHo office had no power for almost all of last week. We managed to find temporary office space in Midtown to work out of.
Most of the work for venue ratings was done before the storm though. We've been testing the product internally for a few weeks now. That said, a lot of people were getting work done even from our displaced office space.
