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.)
N Soto is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open N Soto's website. It can read what N Soto offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://n-soto.com/menu
- Phone: +13238799455
- Address: 4566 W Washington Blvd, 90016, Los Angeles
- Its menu mentions: vegetarian dishes

## Nearby, also direct
Places near N Soto that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Slurpin' Ramen (3.6 km): https://directindex.org/r/slurpinramenbar.com
- Katsu Bar (4.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/ilovekatsubar.com

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through resy.** (+12 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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "N Soto",
  "url": "http://www.n-soto.com/",
  "telephone": "+13238799455",
  "address": "4566 W Washington Blvd, 90016, Los Angeles",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 34.03966233,

```

## 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).** address
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Resy works with agents through its partners.** Resy's terms (9 June 2025) bar automated software that crawls, harvests or scrapes the service and require written consent for other automated use; Resy opened bookings inside ChatGPT on 10 August 2026. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://resy.com/terms. 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.
