The Slice Shop is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open The Slice Shop's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Slice, a marketplace.

## What to fix first
- **Ordering only through slice.** (+12 points) 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 menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **56 prices on the landing page, the middle one $10.30.** In Chicago, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $12.00.

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
