The Reading Room is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of The Reading Room. It can read what The Reading Room offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://thereadingroomatl.com/reservations/ (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/gift/MLXG65MQR6QE1/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://thereadingroomatl.com/menu/
- Phone: +1-404-855-5653

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: address, telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste
