# Izakaya Juraku: Agent-Direct Score B (82%)

Site: https://www.izakayajuraku.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/izakayajuraku.com
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.)
Izakaya Juraku is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Izakaya Juraku. It can read what Izakaya Juraku offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/juraku121 (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.izakayajuraku.com/menu
- Phone: +1-212-477-0100

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Booking only through resy.** (+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/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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.

## Book or order directly

- Order: https://www.toasttab.com/juraku121 (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.izakayajuraku.com/menu

## About

- Website: https://www.izakayajuraku.com/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Toast works with agents through its partners.** Toast's guest terms could not be read on 2026-10-15 (bot challenge); since August 2026 Google's Ask Maps completes orders at Toast restaurants through Toast Local under the UCP for Food standard. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
