Better Half Coffee & Cocktails is partly visible to agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.betterhalfbar.com/reservations (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/betterhalfbar (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.betterhalfbar.com/menu
- Phone: +15126450786

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). 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 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

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
