The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Cafe Nine is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open Cafe Nine's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Phone: +12136223888 - Address: 453 S Spring St, 90013, Los Angeles - Prices: 4 prices on the site, the middle one $10.00 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Cafe Nine that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Naturewell Vegan Juice & Smoothies (80 m): https://directindex.org/r/naturewelljuice.com - Florentín Rooftop Bar (190 m): https://directindex.org/r/florentindtla.com - Yuko Kitchen (230 m): https://directindex.org/r/yukokitchen.com - Time Machine (250 m): https://directindex.org/r/exchangela.com - The Reserve (260 m): https://directindex.org/r/thelareserve.com ## What to fix first - **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow.
