Red Barn Coffee Roasters is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Red Barn Coffee Roasters's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through redbarncoffeeroasters.b2bwave.com.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). 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
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## 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": "Red Barn Coffee Roasters",
  "url": "http://www.redbarncoffee.com/",
  "telephone": "(617) 367-8390",
  "address": "1 Faneuil Hall Market Pl, 02109, Boston",
