## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 914-592-3500, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (212) 514-6400. 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.

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Flames Steakhouse",
  "url": "http://www.flamessteakhouse.com",
  "telephone": "(212) 514-6400",
  "address": "5 Gold St, 10038, New York",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 40.70753493210643,
    "longitude": -74.00724001007352
  },
  "potentialAction": [
    {
      "@type": "ReserveAction",
      "target": {
        "@type": "EntryPoint",
        "urlTemplate": "https://flamessteakhouse.com/table-reservation/",
        "actionPlatform": [
          "http://schema.org/DesktopWebPlatform",
          "http://schema.org/MobileWebPlatform"
        ]
      },
      "result": {
        "@type": "Reservation",
        "name": "Reservation"
      }
    }

}
