Quality Chef is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Quality Chef's website. What Quality Chef offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through qualitychefny.m988.com.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to m988.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2023.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In New York, 76% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Quality Chef",
  "url": "http://www.qualitychefny.com",
  "telephone": "+17188281818",
  "address": "1595 Williamsbridge Rd, 10461-6207, Bronx",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 40.84688882,
    "longitude": -73.84905696
  }
}
