# Café Bizou: Agent-Direct Score A (95.4%)

Site: http://cafebizou.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/cafebizou.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.)
Café Bizou is ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Café Bizou's website. It can read what Café Bizou offers. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.cafebizou.com/order-online (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.cafebizou.com/cafe-bizou-menus/
- Phone: (818) 788-3536
- Address: 14016 Ventura Blvd, 91423, Sherman Oaks

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Café Bizou that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Taisho (30 m): https://directindex.org/r/taishorestaurant.com
- Pearl District (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/pearldistrictrestaurant.com
- Midori Sushi (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/midorisushiventura.com
- Jinky's Cafe (260 m): https://directindex.org/r/jinkys.com
- Shiso Sushi-ShermanOaks (260 m): https://directindex.org/r/shisosushibarla.com

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through opentable.** (no points, but worth doing) 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 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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows (818) 991-9560, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (818) 788-3536. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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": "FoodEstablishment",
  "name": "Café Bizou",
  "url": "http://cafebizou.com",
  "telephone": "(818) 788-3536",

  "geo": {
