# Bang Bar: Agent-Direct Score B (73.8%)

Site: https://bangbarthai.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/bangbarthai.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Bang Bar is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bangbarthai.com/-reservations?source=pop_up&spot_id=115124&destination=reservations&promotion=reservations (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://bangbarthai.com/seattle-bang-bar-thai-restaurant-and-lounge-food-menu
- Phone: +1-206-935-8888

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (no points, still worth doing) Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
