# Mutsu: Agent-Direct Score B (78.5%)

Site: https://mutsu.love/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/mutsu.love
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.)
Mutsu is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Mutsu's website. It can read what Mutsu offers. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.toasttab.com/online/mutsu (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://mutsu.love/menu
- Phone: +14242049494
- Address: 350 N La Cienega Blvd, 90048, Los Angeles
- Its menu mentions: vegetarian dishes, a lunch or set menu

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Mutsu that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Koi Los Angeles (790 m): https://directindex.org/r/koirestaurant.com
- JINYA. West Hollywood (960 m): https://directindex.org/r/jinyaweho.com
- Kaijin sushi (Los Angeles) (1.4 km): https://directindex.org/r/kaijinsushi.com
- Tatsu Ramen (3 km): https://directindex.org/r/tatsuramen.com

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through opentable.** (+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 +13312962167, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +14242049494. 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.

## 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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Mutsu",
  "url": "https://mutsu.love/",
  "telephone": "+14242049494",
  "address": "350 N La Cienega Blvd, 90048, Los Angeles",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 34.07749295,
    "longitude": -118.376351
  },

# Mutsu

> local business (japanese) in 350 N La Cienega Blvd, 90048, Los Angeles, Los Angeles. Phone +14242049494.

## Book or order directly

- Order: https://order.toasttab.com/online/mutsu (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://mutsu.love/menu

## About

- Website: https://mutsu.love/
- 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 main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Toast works with agents 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. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
