      Hi All,

      as a local business directory, we also display Openinghours on a business listing page. ex. http://www.goudengids.be/napoli-kontich-2550/
      At the same time I also have schema.org markup for Openinghours implemented.
      But, for technical reasons (performance), the openinghours (and the markup alongside) are displayed using AJAX.

      I'm wondering if google is able to read the markup. The rich snippet tool and markup plugings like Semantic Inspector can't "see" the markup for openinghours.

      Any advice here?

          So if you read around on the topic Google supporting AJAX is a recent development so there are still many issues, with this. Think of it this way if Google bots still have a hard time reading regular code after so many years now. AJAX will have issues, they are focusing from what it seems on commenting systems such as FB, and Disqus. However try it out and see if your AJAX is being read if not it might be some time before most of the AJAX crawling works as it should.

          Hope this helps
