## What to fix first
- **Ordering only through grubhub.** (+12 points) 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
- **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

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Grubhub lets agents act only through its partners.** Grubhub's terms of use (17 December 2024) bar access with any robot, spider, crawler or automated process; since June 2026 Alexa+ users can browse, build an order and check out through Grubhub by voice. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.grubhub.com/legal/terms-of-use. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
