Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it. - **Ordering only through skipthedishes.** (no points, but worth doing) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do.
