things to fix

Action test, 2026-10-16: partial, a path exists but an agent would struggle. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.

Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.

Assistants

What assistants answer

Each assistant is asked three questions about this business: the official website, where to book, where to order. The cell says where the answer sent people.

Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.
