The Restaurant Schema organises restaurant identity, contact, location, opening hours, cuisine, menu, facilities and diner information into a consistent format, using Schema.org vocabulary where applicable.

Complete JSON definition

1 Scope

The Restaurant Schema describes a restaurant. It covers identity, incorporation details, contact, and location, including the address and coordinates. It also covers opening hours, images, reputation, a price indication, cuisine, menu items, amenities, and restaurant details. A menu item is included only when the restaurant states that it offers that item. Reputation figures come from one provider and are not combined into a single rating. A missing value stays unknown. The price indication is a level, not a dish price. A reservation is recorded only as whether the restaurant accepts reservations.
