Vera's Pizza & Bar is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order: http://www.verasballard.com/#order (on the business's own site)
- Menu: http://www.verasballard.com/#menu
- Phone: +1-206-784-1528

## What to fix first, by points
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). 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
- **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
