Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Charbar is ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Charbar's website. It can read what Charbar offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through charevents.com.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://squareup.com/gift/ETQAGS58VHYKN/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.charbar.ca/menu
- Phone: +1-403-452-3115

## What to fix first

- **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** (+5 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
