# Bar Benjamin: Agent-Direct Score C (56.9%) Site: http://www.barbenjamin.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/barbenjamin.com Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Bar Benjamin is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open Bar Benjamin'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 Resy, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: +13235001122 - Address: 7174 Melrose Ave, 90046, Los Angeles ## Nearby, also direct Places near Bar Benjamin that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - M Cafe (130 m): https://directindex.org/r/mcafedechaya.com - Fika Fika Coffee & Creamery (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/fikafikacoffee.com - Coffee For Sasquatch (220 m): https://directindex.org/r/coffeeforsasquatch.com - Toasted and Roasted (290 m): https://directindex.org/r/toastedandroasted.com - Be Bright Coffee (300 m): https://directindex.org/r/bebrightcoffee.com ## What to fix first - **Booking only through resy.** (+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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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 Structured data (JSON-LD).
