Site: http://kashkavalgarden.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/kashkavalgarden.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.)
Kashkaval Garden is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/gift/4QT72V11TW644/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: http://kashkavalgarden.com/v3/pdf/2026-09-Dinner.pdf?v=cfd774f678b1f38d
- Phone: +1-212-245-1758

## What to fix first
- **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 working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it.
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. 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

## Fix kit: What to paste

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