## 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
- **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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Golden Sands Cafe",
  "url": "https://goldensandscafe.com",
  "telephone": "+17186488898",
  "address": "1924 Avenue U, 11229, New York",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 40.59927342,
    "longitude": -73.95177504
  },
  "potentialAction": [
    {
      "@type": "OrderAction",
      "target": {
        "@type": "EntryPoint",
        "urlTemplate": "https://goldensandscafe.com/menu",
        "actionPlatform": [
