# Bento & Noodles: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%) Site: https://bentoeastlake.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/bentoeastlake.com Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) Bento & Noodles is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open the website of Bento & Noodles. It finds no menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Toast. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/bento-noodles-eastlake-2275-otay-lakes-road-suite-118 (through toast acting for the business) - Phone: +1-619-656-1918 ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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 - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **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. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Bento & Noodles > restaurant (japanese) in Otay Lakes Road 2275 91915 Chula Vista, San Diego.
