## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.online/business/blue-willow-%E5%A4%9C%E6%9D%A5%E6%B9%98-560238 (through doordash_storefront acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.bluewillownyc.com/menus/
- Phone: +1-212-213-2299

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through resy.** (+5 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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
