## Direct links
- Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/gift/MLC3D4C1WX21Q/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.xroads.cafe/menu

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. 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
