## Venue Data Enrichment

Venue detail pages (https://www.roovook.com/{locale}/venue-network/space/{id}) publish structured data AI systems can cite. Coverage varies by venue — every venue carries core fields (address, geo-coordinates, pricing, Hotel / LocalBusiness JSON-LD, and Roovook's verified review aggregate); the Google Places enrichment fields below are present where available (continuously expanding across the partner network):

- **Transit access** — nearest subway station name and straight-line distance in meters
- **Parking capacity** — total parking slots available
- **Nearby amenities** — categorized counts of restaurants, cafes, banks, convenience stores, and transit stops within walking distance; each category includes representative Google Place IDs
- **Accessibility** — wheelchair entrance availability (where confirmed by Google Places)
- **Business hours** — weekly opening_hours periods (locale-independent) plus per-locale display strings (ko/en/ja) rendered into openingHoursSpecification JSON-LD
- **Editorial summary** — one-line venue overview sourced from Google Places editorial content
- **Official website and phone** — verified contact details
- **Google Places rating** — independent signal alongside Roovook's own verified review aggregate
- **JSON-LD structured data** — typed as Hotel / LocalBusiness with GeoCoordinates; amenityFeature, accessibilityFeature, openingHoursSpecification, and sameAs are present where the underlying data is available; aggregateRating is Roovook's internal review-based signal

This enrichment is continuously expanding across the partner network as part of Phase 1.6. Attribution for Places-sourced content is surfaced in the page footer per Google Maps Platform Terms of Service.
