# Vegetable: Agent-Direct Score F (39.5%)

Report: https://directindex.org/r/brokenengrish.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.)
Vegetable is largely invisible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Vegetable's website. What Vegetable offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to DoorDash, a marketplace.

## 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through doordash.** (+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/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **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

## 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": "Vegetable",
  "url": "https://vegetablela.com",
  "telephone": "18187541149",
  "address": "3711 Cahuenga Blvd, 91604-3504, Studio City",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 34.135149,
    "longitude": -118.361422
  }
}
</script>
```

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.

# Vegetable

> local business (taiwanese) in 3711 Cahuenga Blvd, 91604-3504, Studio City, Los Angeles. Phone 18187541149.

## Book or order directly

- Menu: http://www.brokenengrish.com/wp-content/uploads/menu.pdf

## About

- Website: https://vegetablela.com
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **DoorDash works with agents through its partners.** DoorDash's consumer terms (13 August 2026) allow access only by means DoorDash authorizes and bar automated means without written permission; agents order only through its CLI and MCP limited betas. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://help.doordash.com/legal/document?type=cx-terms-and-conditions&region=US&locale=en-US. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
