Scanned: 2026-10-22 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Bar 12 is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Bar 12's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to HotPepper, a marketplace.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through hotpepper.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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
- **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 © 2019.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Tokyo, 45% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Bar 12",
  "url": "http://www.bar12.jp/",
  "telephone": "+81364507212",
  "address": "2 Chome-7-3 Taishido, 154-0004, 世田谷区",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 35.64517017,
