## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 6102965900, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +12897553187. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **28 prices on the landing page, the middle one CA$21.50.** In Hamilton, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is CA$50.00.
