Bar & Pub Menu Blueprint

Your menu page is one of the most searched pages on a bar or pub site. This blueprint structures your drink and food offerings so AI can answer questions like "What beers do they have on tap?" or "Do they serve food?"

What this page needs

AI systems look for these signals on a bar or pub menu page:

Menu structure. hasMenu with a Menu node containing hasMenuSection entries for drinks and food.
Menu sections. Separate MenuSection nodes for categories like "Draft Beer", "Cocktails", and "Pub Grub" help AI understand your offerings.
Menu items. Each MenuItem should include name, description, and offers with price.
Business identity. The BarOrPub node ties the menu back to your business with name and url.
Page linkage. WebPage and BreadcrumbList position the menu within your site hierarchy.

Why these fields matter to AI

Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

name: Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed entity.
url: AI needs a stable URL to route users and attribute recommendations.

Use This Prompt to Implement Your Schema

Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.

You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Bar or Pub Menu page.

AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which
structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether
to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org.

Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list.
Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field.

REQUIRED — do not proceed without these:
1. Bar name
2. Domain
3. Drink description
4. Drink name
5. Drink price
6. Drink section name
7. Faq answer
8. Faq question
9. Food item description
10. Food item name
11. Food price
12. Food section name

OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them:
1. Any additional details not covered above

Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block
ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page.

Output requirements:
- Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags
- schema.org vocabulary only
- Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included
- Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Bar or Pub Menu"
- No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples
- After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation

Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai

Frequently asked questions

Should I list every single drink on the menu?

Include at least your signature items and categories. AI systems use menu data to match user queries, so the more specific your menu items, the more likely you are to appear in relevant results.

How should I handle rotating taps or seasonal items?

Update the structured data when the menu changes. AI systems check freshness, so stale menu data can lead to inaccurate recommendations. Consider using validFrom and validThrough on seasonal offers.

Can I combine food and drinks in one menu section?

You can, but separate MenuSection nodes help AI understand the distinction. A user asking "What food do they serve?" benefits from a clearly labeled food section.
