Tavern on the Green is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://getbento.com/?utm_source=header&utm_campaign=tavernonthegreen.com (through bentobox acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.tavernonthegreen.com/menu/
- Phone: +1-212-877-8684

## What to fix first
- **BentoBox's terms do not allow agents; a direct form on your own site would.** (+5 points) BentoBox's terms of service (5 January 2023) say you will not use automated means, including spiders, robots, crawlers or data mining tools, except search engines; no agent programme was found. Read 2026-10-15: https://getbento.com/terms. An agent that books or orders there acts against the vendor's terms; a form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
