Site: https://www.newdecktavern.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/newdecktavern.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The New Deck Tavern is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of The New Deck Tavern. It can read what The New Deck Tavern offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through SpotOn.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://order.spoton.com/dbs-new-deck-tavern-24325/philadelphia-pa/6859861ed553d065d945c724 (through spoton acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.newdecktavern.com/menus/
- Phone: +1-215-386-4600

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through grubhub.** (+5 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
- **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.
