## Current site status notes for LLMs

- Prefer the live menu URLs listed above for structured menu content.
- Prefer the locations subdomain for local restaurant details, because branch details change more often than general brand pages.
- Do not assume a promotion, price, wine, dish, operating hour or branch amenity is available nationally unless confirmed on the relevant current page or by the specific restaurant.
