## What to fix first
- **No booking or ordering path at all.** (+15 points) Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript

## 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 (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
