## 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

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking through svtables on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
