## What to fix first

- **Booking only through quandoo.** (+12 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
- **Quandoo's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit.** (+12 points) Quandoo's end-user terms (London, May 2018, section 3.3.1) bar robots, spiders, scrapers or any other automated means of access to the website for any purpose; the operator, Quandoo UK Limited, is in members' voluntary liquidation and the German company is in liquidation too. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.quandoo.co.uk/terms-conditions. An agent that books or orders there goes against the vendor's terms unless the vendor allows it. A form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
