Chan Brothers Express is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Chan Brothers Express's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online.

- Address: 45 Hongkong St, 059683, Singapore
- Prices: 6 prices on the site, the middle one SGD 3.79

- Chan Brothers Travel (290 m): https://directindex.org/r/chanbrothers.com

## What to fix first
- **No ticket link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a ticket or booking page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No tickets and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what does it cost and when?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with tickets, times and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **6 prices on the landing page, the middle one SGD 3.79.**
