# Koi Restaurant: Agent-Direct Score C (67.7%) Site: http://koirestaurant.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/koirestaurant.com Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Koi Restaurant is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open Koi Restaurant's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://direct.chownow.com/order/22920/locations (through chownow acting for the business) - Phone: (212) 921-3330 - Address: 246 Spring St, 10013, New York ## Nearby, also direct Places near Koi Restaurant that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Rei Restaurant (340 m): https://directindex.org/r/reirestaurants.com - Bar Moga (450 m): https://directindex.org/r/barmoga.com - Harbs SoHo (480 m): https://directindex.org/r/harbsnyc.com - Ramen Danbo (510 m): https://directindex.org/r/ramendanbo.com - Muku (550 m): https://directindex.org/r/restaurantmuku.nyc ## What to fix first - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **Booking only through resy.** (+5 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **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 - **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 1-310-659-9949, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (212) 921-3330. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org. ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2018.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In New York, 76% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. ## 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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Koi Restaurant > restaurant (japanese) in 246 Spring St, 10013, New York, New York. Phone (212) 921-3330. ## Book or order directly - Order: https://direct.chownow.com/order/22920/locations (through chownow acting for the business) ## About - Website: http://koirestaurant.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.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed. - **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response. - **Structured data found (Restaurant).** no address, phone or hours in it - **Ordering through chownow on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours. ## Where it stands 4006 of 11000 in New York.
