Schema Markup for Restaurants: Step-by-Step Guide

Learn how to implement Restaurant schema markup for your restaurant practice. Boost AI visibility with structured data.

# Schema Markup for Restaurants: Step-by-Step

Why Schema Matters for AI Visibility

AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini parse structured data to understand your business. Without `Restaurant` schema, your restaurant practice is just unstructured text to them.

Step 1: Base Business Schema

Add `Restaurant` JSON-LD to your homepage with:

  • Business name, address, phone, hours
  • `priceRange`: "Rs 200-5,000 per order"
  • `medicalSpecialty` or `serviceType`: "online ordering", "table reservations"
  • Step 2: Service-Level Schema

    Create individual `Service` or `MedicalProcedure` entries for each offering:

  • online ordering — include cost, duration, description
  • table reservations — include eligibility, prep instructions
  • catering services — include recovery time, expected results
  • cloud kitchen — include practitioner qualifications
  • Step 3: Review & FAQ Schema

    Add `AggregateRating` from Google reviews and `FAQPage` schema for common questions like:

  • "How much does online ordering cost?"
  • "Is table reservations painful?"
  • "How to choose the best restaurant?"
  • Step 4: Validate & Monitor

    Use Google's Rich Results Test and Schema.org validator. Check monthly that AI assistants accurately reflect your services and pricing (Rs 200-5,000 per order).

    Competitor Benchmark
