It finds a way to book or order directly on the site. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://www.howdyz.com/menu?functionType=delivery (on the business's own site) - Menu: https://www.howdyz.com/menu - Phone: +441912327777 - Address: 255 Westgate Rd, NE4 6AH, Newcastle upon Tyne - Its menu mentions: vegetarian dishes, allergens, a children's menu ## Nearby, also direct Places near Howdyz - Newcastle that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Good Chef Chinese Takeaway (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/goodchefchinese.co.uk - Stowell Street (420 m): https://directindex.org/r/q-park.co.uk - King Neptune (440 m): https://directindex.org/r/kingneptune.uk ## 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.
