What customers ask AI
- “Best coffee near me”
- “Vegan or gluten-free brunch nearby”
- “Dog-friendly café with outdoor seating”
- “Café open early near the station”
- “Café with a kids’ menu”
An assistant answers these by searching the web and naming a few businesses. Nobody can make it pick yours, and we won’t pretend otherwise. These fixes make you easier to find and understand.
5 fixes for a café
1. Put the menu on your site as text
A PDF or photo of the menu can’t be read. Plain text can, and it’s where “vegan” and “gluten-free” get found.
2. Name your coffee
Say which roaster you use. It’s a common question and an easy fact to quote.
3. Mark dietary options clearly
Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free items, labelled on the menu.
4. List the practical details
Dog-friendly, outdoor seating, pram access, takeaway-only hours and parking.
5. Keep opening hours right
Early opens, last orders and public holidays. Wrong hours are the common mistake.
