Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Nit Cracker is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open The Nit Cracker's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

- Book directly: https://www.therealnitcracker.com/#contact (on the business's own site)
- Phone: 089 469 4091

## What to fix first
- **No price list of services found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer and what does it cost?' from marketplaces and directories instead. Add a page that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **7 prices on the landing page, the middle one €100.** In Dublin, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is €55.00.

## 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.
