## 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
