# Gao Viet Kitchen: Agent-Direct Score B (72.3%)

Site: https://gaokitchen.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/gaovietkitchen.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Gao Viet Kitchen is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Gao Viet Kitchen. It can read what Gao Viet Kitchen offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://gaovietkitchen.com/menu/can-tho-sour/ (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/gift/MLT3ARHHH8VBF/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://gaovietkitchen.com/san-francisco-menu/
- Phone: +1-415-592-8090

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
