At minimum: Restaurant schema (cuisine, price range), LocalBusiness (address, hours, phone), and Menu markup. If you have reviews, we add AggregateRating schema. For events, we add Event markup for special dinners and live music.
Third-party ordering widgets can dramatically slow down your site. We implement lazy loading for these scripts, ensure they don't block page rendering, and optimize the integration so your site stays fast while maintaining full ordering functionality.
