Site: http://douzosushi.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/douzosushi.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.)
Douzo is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Douzo's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://ordering.chownow.com/order/8410/locations (through chownow acting for the business)
- Phone: +16178598886
- Address: 131 Dartmouth St, 02116, Boston

## Nearby, also direct

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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
- **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
- **Booking only through opentable.** (+5 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/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

## 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": "Douzo",
  "url": "http://douzosushi.com/",
  "telephone": "+16178598886",
  "address": "131 Dartmouth St, 02116, Boston",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 42.34689537,
    "longitude": -71.075656
  },
