Laowai is hard for agents to use.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://laowai.ca/html/menu.html

## What to fix first, by points
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No booking or ordering path at all.** (+15 points) Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **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, one block in the page head:

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "BarOrPub",
  "name": "Laowai",
  "url": "https://laowai.ca",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "East Georgia Street 251",
    "postalCode": "V6A 1Z6",
    "addressLocality": "Vancouver"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 49.2787081,
    "longitude": -123.0979765
  },
  "hasMenu": "https://laowai.ca/html/menu.html"
}
</script>
```

# Laowai

> bar or pub in East Georgia Street 251 V6A 1Z6 Vancouver, Vancouver cafes and bars.

## Book or order directly

- Menu: https://laowai.ca/html/menu.html

## About

- Website: https://laowai.ca
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
