# Bengal: Agent-Direct Score B (81.5%)

Site: http://bengal-freiburg.de/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/bengal-freiburg.de
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Bengal is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Bengal's website. What Bengal offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bengal-freiburg.de/reservations/ (on the business's own site)

- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mo-Th 12:00-15:00, Fr,Sa 12:00-15:00, PH 17:30-22:30, Fr,Sa 17:30-22:30

- M9 (150 m): https://directindex.org/r/m9restaurant.de
- Divan (210 m): https://directindex.org/r/divan-freiburg.de

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. 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)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is.

## 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.
