## Direct links
- Menu: https://theclub.ie/menu/
- Phone: +35312858511
- Address: 107 Coliemore Road, A96 HX75, Dalkey

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through opentable.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: address, telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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": "BarOrPub",
  "name": "The Club, Dalkey",
  "url": "https://theclub.ie/",
  "telephone": "+35312858511",
  "address": "107 Coliemore Road, A96 HX75, Dalkey",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 53.277228,
    "longitude": -6.102617
  },
  "hasMenu": "https://theclub.ie/menu/"
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (BarOrPub).** opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **OpenTable works with agents 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. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
