Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
North Star is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open North Star's website. What North Star offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Dojo.

## Direct links

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through ubereats.** (+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/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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.
