## What to fix first
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste
