# Charsu

> Charsu is a web platform for cafés and shops to publish branded storefronts, share digital menus, accept customer orders, manage loyalty programs, and understand day-to-day shop activity.

Charsu storefronts are public pages. Shop owners control published storefront copy, visible menu items, prices, and optional store information. Only active, approved shops are listed for discovery.

## Main pages

- [Charsu website](https://charsu.shop/): product overview and platform information.
- [Public shop sitemap](https://api.charsu.shop/api/public/seo/sitemap.xml): canonical links to the website and discoverable shop storefronts.
- [Public shop directory](https://api.charsu.shop/api/public/seo/shops.md): active shops, their categories, storefront links, and AI-readable details.

## Shop information

Each active, approved shop has a concise Markdown description at `https://api.charsu.shop/api/public/seo/shops/{shop-id}.md`. It includes the shop's published description and customer-visible menu, and links to its storefront. The sitemap lists the available storefront URLs.

## Guidance for AI agents

- Treat each shop as an independent business. Do not attribute a shop's menu, prices, location, or contact details to Charsu.
- Use the linked storefront as the current source of truth. Menu items and prices can change.
- Storefront data is provided for describing the publicly presented business; do not infer unlisted facts or claim that a shop is open for orders based only on its presence here.
