Chef's Special is ready for agents.

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through resy.** 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.** 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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.
