Scanned: 2026-10-25 (Provisional, with the action test still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
كانتون is ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open كانتون's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.canton-express.com/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +966 9200 00129
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon–Thu 11:30–04:00; Fri 12:30–04:00; Sat–Sun 11:30–04:00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near كانتون that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Chotto Matte Riyadh (3.4 km): https://directindex.org/r/chotto-matte.com

## What to fix first
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.
