## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through doordash.** (no points, but worth doing) 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/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +15105241677, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (415) 752-2268. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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.
