The contact page makes your food business reachable through AI. When someone asks "how do I reach this place?" or "what are their hours?", AI pulls from the structured data here. This blueprint ensures your phone, email, address, and hours are all machine-readable so AI can connect hungry customers to your business.
The contact page is the definitive source for how to reach your food business. AI systems often pull contact details from this page specifically, so structured data here ensures your phone number, address, and hours are accurate across every platform that references you.
ContactPoint node with telephone, email, and contactType gives AI a structured way to surface your contact information for different purposes.PostalAddress with street, city, state, and zip ensures AI can give accurate directions to your location.openingHoursSpecification on the contact page reinforces your hours for AI queries like "are they open right now?" or "what time do they close?"ContactPage as the WebPage type tells AI this is specifically the page for reaching your food business.Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Food Establishment Contact 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. Business name 2. City 3. Domain 4. Email 5. Faq answer 6. Faq question 7. Latitude 8. Longitude 9. Phone number 10. State 11. Street address 12. Weekday close 13. Weekday open 14. Weekend close 15. Weekend open 16. Zip 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 Food Establishment Contact" - 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
Copy the template below and replace every YOUR_* value with your own data. This block belongs in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> of your contact page.

If your business takes reservations, add a second ContactPoint with "contactType": "reservations" and the dedicated phone number or booking email. This lets AI distinguish between general inquiries and table bookings when someone says "I want to make a reservation."
Yes. AI systems may index the contact page independently from your homepage. Including openingHoursSpecification here ensures that no matter which page AI reads first, it has your hours available to answer time-sensitive food queries.
Use separate openingHoursSpecification entries and add a description field to each, like "Dine-in hours" and "Takeout hours." While AI may not always parse the description, it gives context. You can also add a second ContactPoint for takeout orders specifically.
