## What to fix first
- **Appointments through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No price list of services found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer and what does it cost?' from marketplaces and directories instead. Add a page that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 8187483222, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +18189222335. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2018.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Los Angeles, 64% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.
- **6 prices on the landing page, the middle one $42.50.** In Los Angeles, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $65.00.
