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.)
Facing East Noodle & Bar is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Facing East Noodle & Bar'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, through Chowbus POS.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://pos.chowbus.com/online-ordering/store/Facing-East-Noodle-Bar/22009 (through chowbus_pos acting for the business)
- Phone: 858-789-3887
- Address: Convoy Street 4647 92111 San Diego

## 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.
