## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://www.opentable.com/widget/reservation/loader?rid=237325&type=standard&theme=wide&color=1&dark=false&iframe=true&domain=com&lang=en-US&newtab=false&ot_source=Restaurant%20website&cfe=true (through opentable acting for the business)
- Menu: https://shalel.kitchen/shalel-menu

## Opening hours

Mo-Th, Su 17:00-01:00; Fr, Sa 17:00-02:00

## About

- Website: https://shalel.kitchen/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking through opentable on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **OpenTable lets agents act only through its partners.** OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Read 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
