Ruse Brewery & Taproom is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Ruse Brewery & Taproom's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Phone: +1-503-206-6358

## What to fix first
- **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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +1360-953-8394, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +1-503-206-6358. 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.

## 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.
