Hi,

since a few weeks I'm reading all informations about rich snippets, structured data and schema.org A client of mine – a food catering/caterer company – want's better SERP for their website. One of the changes I'm planing, is to add some structured data on some pages. What I can't find, is in which category a food-catering company would fit in. I mean something like: itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Catering" (it doesn't exists)

I was thinking about »Thing > Place > LocalBusiness > FoodEstablishment« or »FoodEvent«. But I couldn't find any informations on the schema.org site.

I just googled »food catering New York«, there are about 10.600.00 results.

Your need would just be satisfied as a new subtype of FoodEstablishment, so that it can take advantage of reservation times, party sizes, etc.

Events themselves are another ball of wax... FoodEvent was built for a different purpose to be an specific Event type around anything Food related. Its also has uses around culinary prep like CookAction and afterwards like ConsumeAction. Its possible to extend FoodEvent to a new subtype of CateredEvent, but I don't really see the need. If let's say you have a Cheese & Wine catered event...you model the Event itself as a FoodEvent but you could also just as easily say it is a SocialEvent. The Event typing is kind of up to you and which Event subtypes currently fit best for your needs.

For Food business purposes of defining a Catering company with who/what they do...yeah that's FoodEstablishment and a new subtype just needs to be created for FoodCaterer.

See issue #7 for the context of the move from the main Schema.org issue tracker to this repository.
