Merci Beaucoup Cafe is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order: https://www.mercibeaucoupcafe.com/home-delivery/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.mercibeaucoupcafe.com/menu/
- Phone: +1-604-255-3220

## What to fix first, by points
- **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). 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 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
