We have lots of pages on restaurants in Ann Arbor. When people browse for information, there are a couple things that really help, pieces that should be included on every page. There is a template -- Template:Store -- you can use to prompt for the basics, as well as provide a handy visual format.


  • Address, and addresses of all franchises, if you know them.
  • Phone numbers
  • Names of the owners
  • Hours of operation, including exceptions and oddities (are there holiday closings? do the managers randomly open shop later?)
  • Prices, or the price range. I'd suggest a set of categories: 5 dollar food, 10 dollar food, 15 dollar food, 20 dollar food, so on.
  • Clientele (student dive, parents, business?)
  • A dated link to a menu (ex: scanned on June 8) or some items
  • Linking like eateries together using the restaurant sub-categories helps find food fast. Heh.
  • Opinion -- we're building a wiki, but I think critical opinion is good, as long as it's attributed and dated. Doesn't necessarily need to go into the talk page. -MattH 07:29, 9 September 2006 (PDT)
  • Link to external reviews, e.g. on Yelp, or the Washtenaw County restaurant inspection reports; there's a yelp and inspection template to help those.
