Site: https://www.marcforgione.com/menus/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/marcforgione.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.)
Forgione is ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/restaurant-marc-forgione-30-hudson-30-hudson-st/giftcards (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.marcforgione.com/menus/
- Phone: +1-212-941-9401

## 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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: 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.

- Order: https://www.toasttab.com/restaurant-marc-forgione-30-hudson-30-hudson-st/giftcards (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.marcforgione.com/menus/

## Opening hours

Mo-Sa 17:00-22:00; Su 17:00-21:00

## About

- Website: https://www.marcforgione.com/menus/
- 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 (FoodEstablishment).** address, phone
- **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 lets agents act only 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 cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
