Restaurants live and die by their visibility in the Google Map Pack. The Restaurant Builder optimizes your establishment by injecting highly-specific culinary data directly into Google's Knowledge Graph, triggering custom actions like "Menu" and "Reservations".
When users search for food, they use hyper-specific modifiers (e.g., "Mexican food with outdoor seating"). If Google doesn't know your restaurant meets those criteria, you won't rank.
Use the multi-select chips to identify exactly what type of food you serve. You can select multiple (e.g., "American" and "Seafood") to cast a wider net.

The most valuable feature of the FoodEstablishment schema is its ability to generate massive, clickable CTA buttons directly on the search engine results page.

If your restaurant has different hours than your parent organization (or if you are creating a schema for a specific branch location), toggle the Override Global Hours switch and input your exact operating times using the repeater.
