# Elephant District: Agent-Direct Score B (84.6%)

Site: http://www.elephantdistrict.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/elephantdistrict.com
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Elephant District is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Elephant District's website. It can read what Elephant District offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.restaurantlogin.com/ordering/restaurant/menu?restaurant_uid=3adb1ea6-6434-4b98-b520-b8aa8a6a1724 (through gloriafood acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.elephantdistrict.com/menu
- Phone: +18453143606
- Address: 9 Old Fulton St, 11201, New York
- Its menu mentions: vegan options

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Elephant District that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Khaosan (920 m): https://directindex.org/r/thaifoodbrooklyn.com
- Hey Thai (1.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/hey-thai-nyc.com

- Tiptara (1.4 km): https://directindex.org/r/tiptarathaifood.com
- May Kaidee (1.4 km): https://directindex.org/r/maykaidee.com

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through resy.** (+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
- **GloriaFood's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit.** (+5 points) GloriaFood's terms of use (6 February 2024, Oracle) say you agree not to use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means without written permission; GloriaFood reaches end of life on 30 April 2027. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.gloriafood.com/terms-of-use. An agent that books or orders there goes against the vendor's terms unless the vendor allows it. A form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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.
