The shortcode can be used to display information on a Local Business, facilitating local SEO. Besides just displaying various business details in the page, this shortcode also generates a Schema markdown in the source of your page which is easily picked up by search engines to understand and display location and other various details of the business in search results. Above example displays details for a restaurant, but other types can be used as well.
