# Bar Ardo: Agent-Direct Score B (84.6%)

Site: https://www.barardo.ca/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/barardo.ca
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.)
Bar Ardo is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.toasttab.com/egiftcards/bar-ardo-169-king-st-e (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.barardo.ca/menus

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through opentable.** (+5 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. 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

## 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.
