View Menu link on Restaurants Local Business Page

Restaurant Local Business Pages are displaying View Menu and Menu links. These links are algorithmic / semantically created and cannot be added by the owner of the Restaurants Local Page.

To ensure that the Restaurants own menu is displayed, restaurants will need to provide clear signals on the Menu page for Google.

 

Wrong View Menu Displayed on Restaurant Local Page

With the recent implementation of the View Menu from Google, restaurants have been using  forums to inquire why a different website is being linked to.
