Site: https://groundsforcoffee.ca/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/groundsforcoffee.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Grounds for Coffee is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://groundsforcoffee.ca/the-buns/corporate-orders/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +1-604-254-3939

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list lives on another site.** (+5 points) The link points to smooth.menu, so the credit and the traffic go there. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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
