Report: https://directindex.org/r/kata-dc.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.)
Kata is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.sevenrooms.com/explore/kata/reservations/create/search/ (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.kata-dc.com/menu
- Phone: 2028346620

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. 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.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://www.sevenrooms.com/explore/kata/reservations/create/search/ (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.kata-dc.com/menu

## Opening hours

Tu-We 16:00-23:00; Th 16:00-24:00; Fr-Sa 16:00-02:00; Su-Mo off

## About

- Website: https://www.kata-dc.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.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking through sevenrooms on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **SevenRooms lets agents act only through its partners.** SevenRooms' terms (17 April 2026) bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means except bona fide search engines; Google names SevenRooms as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://sevenrooms.com/terms-of-service/. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
