Bedford Food & Drink is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Bedford Food & Drink'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, through ChowNow.

- Phone: +1-919-999-3233

- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon 08:00–22:00; Tue closed; Wed–Thu 08:00–22:00; Fri–Sat 08:00–23:00; Sun 08:00–22:00

- The Hop Yard (3.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/thehopyardnc.com

## What to fix first
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: address, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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)
- **The footer says © 2023.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site.

## Fix kit: What to paste
