What to fix first
- Booking only through opentable +9 points

- Ordering through an unrecognised third party +9 points
Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. How to fix it
- Structured data is incomplete +6 points
Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it
- 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. How to fix it
- The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data
The site shows 1-289-768-5645, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +1 289 799 1002. 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.
