FUNCTIONALITY
What it offers
These are the core jobs the feature should make understandable and controllable for a restaurant operator.
Location identity
Maintain the restaurant name, category, city or neighborhood, contact details and canonical website URL. These fields should match the restaurant’s verified public listings.
Regular and special hours
Store normal opening hours separately from holiday closures, temporary changes and service-specific hours such as pickup or delivery.
HTML menu pages
Publish menu sections and items as readable page content—not only as an image or PDF—so guests and search engines can understand the offering.
Media and calls to action
Manage approved venue and dish photos, plus the direct order, directions, call or reservation action that is actually available.
Technical search signals
Generate page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, sitemaps and structured data from the verified restaurant record.
Multi-location governance
Give every venue its own facts while preserving shared brand descriptions, policies and assets.

IN THE RESTAURANT
How the team runs it
Before service
Check temporary closures, sold-out categories and service-mode availability before customers rely on them.
Weekly
Review broken links, unsuccessful searches, page speed, menu freshness and incomplete location records.
Before holidays or events
Schedule special hours and publish the change early enough for external channels to process it.
After a permanent change
Update the GrowthOS source record, obtain approval and reconcile the restaurant site with every connected public listing.
MEASUREMENT
Metrics that make it operational
DEPENDENCIES & LIMITS
Know what must be confirmed
‘Google-optimized’ means the site can follow Google’s technical and content guidance; it does not guarantee a top position in search results.
[CONFIRM: whether GrowthOS has an approved Google Business Profile API integration and which fields it can publish.]
Google may review, reformat or decline information. External-channel publication is not always immediate.
Only use Restaurant schema, hasMenu and public actions when the underlying facts and destinations are real and current.
RESEARCH
Primary sources and market references
Official sources establish platform, privacy or security requirements. Vendor sources are labeled as industry patterns, not proof of a GrowthOS integration.
