Report: https://directindex.org/r/lacavanyc.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
La Cava Wine Bar is ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://lacavanyc.com/-reservations?source=pop_up&spot_id=11504&destination=reservations&promotion=reservations (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://lacavanyc.com/food-menu?source=header&spot_id=11504&destination=food_menu&promotion=dessert_day
- Phone: +1 212-223-1206

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through grubhub.** (no points, still worth doing) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
