Customers are now asking ChatGPT "good restaurant near me" or "can you recommend a romantic dinner?" We explain what your restaurant or café needs to do to appear in those answers.
Food searches are one of the most heavily used categories for AI assistants. Queries like "best köfte in Ankara?", "recommend a café with vegetarian options", "restaurants open tonight in Izmir" are made millions of times every day.
ChatGPT answers these queries via Bing. Google Gemini uses Google Business Profile data directly. Both rely on Restaurant/FoodEstablishment schema, menu information, opening hours and real customer reviews.
Tag your cuisine type, price range, reservations and special diet options with schema. AI assistants filter by these criteria when making recommendations.
Add Wi-Fi, working environment, seating capacity and specialities to GBP and schema. Stand out in niche queries like "café to work in".
Create separate GBP profiles and branch-level schema for each location. mytrend.ai's reseller panel lets you manage chains from a single hub.
Schema.org uses the Restaurant type for restaurants and CafeOrCoffeeShop for cafés. Enter your cuisine type in the servesCuisine field ("Turkish Cuisine", "Italian", "Vegan") — AI assistants use this field to filter results. mytrend.ai selects the correct type automatically from your profile.
GBP is essential for Gemini. Enter at least 10 high-quality food photos, an up-to-date menu link or PDF, a reservation link and accurate opening hours. Features like Wi-Fi, dietary options and parking should be ticked in the "Attributes" section — Gemini uses these as filters.
Queries like "gluten-free restaurant Beşiktaş" are now very common. Present your menu on a web page in plain text or with the hasMenu schema property rather than as a PDF. Clearly label dietary tags (vegan, gluten-free, halal) — AI scans these labels directly.
ChatGPT and Gemini use Google review signals when making recommendations. A 4.0+ rating and 20+ reviews significantly increases the likelihood of being recommended in "best restaurant" queries. Add a review reminder to customers via QR code or on receipts.
When questions like "Is reservation required?", "Do you offer takeaway?", "Is there a vegetarian menu?" are marked up with FAQPage schema, ChatGPT quotes these answers directly. It improves both customer experience and AI visibility at the same time.
ChatGPT uses Bing to list restaurants. For your restaurant to appear in ChatGPT answers, your website needs Restaurant schema, FAQPage data and IndexNow integration. mytrend.ai generates all of these automatically.
AI assistants scan menu content when answering queries like "restaurant with vegetarian options" or "gluten-free menu Izmir". Presenting your menu as plain text on your website and adding a menu link to GBP helps you stand out for these query types.
Yes. Gemini relies directly on Google Business Profile reviews. ChatGPT is indirectly affected via signal clusters on Bing. A 4.0+ rating and 20+ reviews on Google significantly increases the probability of being recommended in "best restaurant" queries.
Create a separate GBP profile and branch-level Schema.org data for each location. mytrend.ai's Agency package lets you manage all your branches from a single reseller panel — each branch gets its own profile and its own AI Visibility Score.
