Horn's Hook Tavern is ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://hornshooktavern.getbento.com/online-ordering (through bentobox acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.hornshooktavern.com/drink-menu
- Phone: +1 212-879-1500

## What to fix first
- **BentoBox's terms do not allow agents; a direct form on your own site would.** (+5 points) BentoBox's terms of service (5 January 2023) say you will not use automated means, including spiders, robots, crawlers or data mining tools, except search engines; no agent programme was found. Read 2026-10-15: https://getbento.com/terms. An agent that books or orders there acts against the vendor's terms; a form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
