Park's BBQ is partly visible to agents.

## Direct links

- Phone: +1 213-380-1717

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** (+5 points) Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **ChowNow's terms do not allow agents; a direct form on your own site would.** (+5 points) ChowNow's customer terms (8 September 2025) say you will not use automated means, including spiders, robots, crawlers or data mining tools, except search engines; no agent programme was found. Read 2026-10-15: https://get.chownow.com/terms-of-service. An agent that books or orders there acts against the vendor's terms; a form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. 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
