# Bowery Meat Company: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%) Site: https://www.bowerymeatcompany.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/bowerymeatcompany.com Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) Bowery Meat Company is hard for agents to use. ## Direct links - Menu: https://www.bowerymeatcompany.com/menu ## What to fix first - **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 - **Booking only through resy.** (+12 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.
