## What to fix first
- **Clover's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit.** (+5 points) Clover's consumer app terms (8 June 2023, section 3.5), linked from its online ordering pages, bar any deep-link, robot, spider or other device or process to access, copy or monitor the site or app, and bar the use of buying agents; no agent programme was found. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.clover.com/consumer/terms. An agent that books or orders there goes against the vendor's terms unless the vendor allows it. 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.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste
