Identified Gaps

  • No Menu schema — AI cannot parse offerings

  • Single sameAs link insufficient for cross-domain verification
  • No LocalBusiness schema despite multiple locations
  • No FoodEstablishment or Restaurant schema type
  • Catering services described in unstructured paragraphs
  • Review data not linked to schema — social proof invisible to AI
