Gaijin Izakaya is ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Gaijin Izakaya. It can read what Gaijin Izakaya offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through aleno.

- Menu: https://gaijin-izakaya.ch/menu
- Phone: 044 482 22 00

## What to fix first
- **Ordering only through ubereats.** (+5 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
