Site: http://kicho.com.au/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/kicho.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Kicho is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Kicho's website. It can read what Kicho offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.kicho.com.au/reservation/ (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://squareup.com/gift/MLK94VK2RK6WP/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.kicho.com.au/menu/
- Phone: +61411306208

## What to fix first

- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **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

## 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.
