Harrington's Gourmet Sandwiches is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Harrington's Gourmet Sandwiches's website. What Harrington's Gourmet Sandwiches offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to Deliveroo, a marketplace.

## 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
- **Ordering only through deliveroo.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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

## 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": "Harrington's Gourmet Sandwiches",
  "url": "http://www.harringtonsgs.co.uk/",
  "telephone": "+441214493944",
  "address": "146 Bromsgrove St, B5 6RG, Birmingham",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 52.47325553,
    "longitude": -1.89619411

## Already right
