La Serre is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open La Serre's website. It can read what La Serre offers. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

## Direct links

- Menu: https://www.dinelaserre.com/event/bar-menu/
- Address: North Green Street 307 60607 Chicago

## Nearby, also direct
Places near La Serre that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Yasemi, A Modern Mediterranean Restaurant (1.6 km): https://directindex.org/r/yasemichicago.com

## 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 opentable.** (+5 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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.
