Scanned: 2026-10-14 (provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check pending)
Metropolis is ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order: https://www.metropolisboston.com/pickup-and-delivery/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.metropolisboston.com/menus/
- Phone: +1 617-247-2931

## What to fix first, by points
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through opentable.** (no points, still worth doing) 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 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

## Already right

- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.

- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.
