You are a restaurant strategy consultant. Your client runs a [TYPE_OF_RESTAURANT, e.g., fast-casual Italian] located in [CITY]. They want to audit their [NUMBER] direct competitors (within [RADIUS_IN_KM] km radius) listed below: [LIST_OF_COMPETITORS].

For each competitor, provide a structured fact sheet with:

  1. Identity: name, address, cuisine type, average price range (starter/main/dessert).
  2. Menu: 3 signature dishes, format (à la carte, set menu, lunch menu), presence of vegetarian/gluten-free options.
  3. Online reviews: average Google Maps rating, number of reviews, 3 recurring strengths and 3 weaknesses (e.g., slow service, pleasant setting).
  4. Positioning: keywords used in their description (e.g., 'homemade', 'fresh products'), target customer type (families, business, tourists).
  5. Marketing levers: active on Deliveroo/Uber Eats? Do they use special offers (happy hour, kids menu)? Do they have a loyalty program? Instagram posting frequency (last 30 days).
  6. Strengths and areas for improvement: What makes them competitive? Where are they vulnerable?

Then, propose a prioritized action plan (5 actions) for [TYPE_OF_RESTAURANT] to differentiate themselves. Include concrete measures (e.g., 'add 3 vegetarian options', 'launch a digital loyalty program').

Output format: markdown table for each competitor, then action plan listed.
