Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Old Garage is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open The Old Garage's website. It can read what The Old Garage offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through resOS.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://the-old-garage.resos.com/booking (through resos acting for the business)
- Menu: http://theoldgarage.com.au/menu/
- Phone: +61398892327

## What to fix first

- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **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

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": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "The Old Garage",
  "url": "http://www.theoldgarage.com.au/",
  "telephone": "+61398892327",
  "address": "2A Glen Iris Rd, 3124, Melbourne",
  "geo": {

      "result": {

        "name": "Reservation"
      }
