Report: https://directindex.org/r/beacondoughnuts.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check pending)
Beacon Doughnuts is hard for agents to use.

## Direct links
- Order: https://my-site-100215-107287.square.site/ (through square acting for the business)

## What to fix first, by points
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: what to paste
