Relational inventory schema

This page describes the format for the Ordering End-to-End data feeds (Food Catalog Specification) you provide to Google. For a machine-readable version of this information, you can download the JSON schema.

General requirements

Entities must be structured to be on one line per entity in the feeds (entities are separated by newline characters). For readability purposes, JSON examples on this page do not follow that structure. However, you must follow that structure when sending your feeds. For example, a menu entity must be structured like the following code: 

{"@type": "Menu","name": "Coffee Shop A","@id": "1535"}

Each `Restaurant` entity may have two Service entities (one each for the `DELIVERY` and `TAKEOUT` service types). Each `Service` entity may only have one `Menu` entity.

Any sub-entities can be reused across multiple restaurants.

JSON value guidelines

Type coercion

A type of a JSON value can be different from the type defined in the schema as long as the value can be coerced into the required type. For example, string properties can accept both string as well as integer values as input. Similarly, integer properties can accept string value as long as string can be parsed into valid integer.

Type coercion also works for repeated properties. Repeated properties can accept values as input without being enclosed in brackets []. For example, the OperationHours.serviceId property accepts both "service_id" and ["service_id"] as valid inputs.

DateTime and Time Values

DateTime is based on the schema.org type, and, unless otherwise stated, must follow the ISO 8601 format and include the date, the time, and the time zone. Use following syntax for DateTime:

// DateTime format:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS[∓HH:MM|Z]

For example:

2017-05-01T06:30:00-07:00 // UTC minus 7 hours
2017-05-01T06:30:00Z  // UTC time zone. The optional "Z" suffix represents the UTC time zone.

Time is the local time for a given restaurant or service location's time zone, is also based on the schema.org type, and must also follow the ISO 8601 format. Time uses the following syntax:

// Time format:
THH:MM:SS

For example:

T08:08:00 // 8:08 AM

Note the following whenever you specify a DateTime or Time:

  • The "T" prefix before the time is part of the format and is required.
  • The time zone must be specified for DATETIME. It isn't required for TIME.
  • The time must be specified in the local time for the restaurant or service.
