Scanned: 2026-11-04 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Italo Café is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Italo Café's website. It can read what Italo Café offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://italocafe.ec/book/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://italocafe.ec/nuestra-carta/
- Address: De los Pinos Quito

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. 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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2023.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site.
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is.

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">

  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "CafeOrCoffeeShop",
  "name": "Italo Café",
