## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through ubereats.** (+12 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it.
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

- Website: http://www.frankiesonmelrose.com/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Uber Eats lets agents act only through its partners.** Uber's US terms of use (12 October 2026) bar scripts that burden the services and any use to build software or train AI; its Claude and ChatGPT integrations only browse menus, with checkout in the Uber Eats app. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.uber.com/legal/en/document/?name=general-terms-of-use&country=united-states&lang=en. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
