Site: https://www.vestercafe.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/vestercafe.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check pending)
Vester is partly visible to agents.

## Direct links
- Order: https://vestercafe.com/ordernow (on the business's own site)

## What to fix first, by points
- **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
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. 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
