Restaurant Website Menu Scraper & Enrichment

Restaurant Website Menu Scraper & Enrichment extracts structured menu data, menu sections, and prices from restaurant websites. It is designed for Apify workflows that start with Google Maps or local business discovery and then enrich each restaurant record with website-only menu coverage.

Best use cases

• Enrich Google Maps restaurant leads with website menu data
• Capture menu sections, item names, descriptions, and prices
• Re-scrape restaurant websites on a freshness window instead of every run
• Run direct website menu scraping from raw startUrls

What the Actor does

For each restaurant record or website URL, the Actor:

1. prioritizes likely menu pages such as /menu, /food-menu, /drinks, /lunch, and /dinner
2. stays on the same website domain
3. extracts menu items from JSON-LD and DOM content
4. normalizes prices into numeric values and currency codes when possible
5. groups menu items into menu sections
6. caches fresh results in website-menu-enrichment-cache

Input

Use either discovery records or direct website URLs.

{
    "restaurants": [
        {
            "restaurantId": "abc123",
            "name": "Example Bistro",
            "website": "https://examplebistro.com",
            "googleMapsUrl": "https://maps.google.com/...",
            "location": "Austin, TX",
            "mapsMenuItemCount": 2,
            "needsWebsiteEnrichment": true,
            "websiteTargets": ["https://examplebistro.com/menu", "https://examplebistro.com"]
        }
    ],

    "maxPagesPerSite": 5,
    "maxConcurrency": 5,
    "freshnessWindowDays": 7,

}

You can also run the Actor with:

{
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://examplebistro.com/menu" }]
}
