Report: https://directindex.org/r/elbowroomatlanta.com
Scanned: 2026-10-22 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Elbow Room Bar is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Elbow Room Bar's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through ChowNow.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://ordering.chownow.com/order/22078/locations (through chownow acting for the business)
- Phone: +14042313308
- Address: 248 Pharr Rd NE, 30305, Atlanta

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **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.
