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

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://media-cdn.getbento.com/accounts/0c92fb432b4aff51b3fb06158c90f9d3/media/XEjuWETwTPKnWnJCcllj_Pearlz%20Menu%20New%20WA%20Legal%20%2815%29.pdf (through bentobox acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.pearlzoysterbar.com/west-ashley-menus/
- Phone: 9804987247
- Address: 7804 Rea Rd Ste A, 28277, Charlotte
- Its menu mentions: a children's menu

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Pearlz Oyster Bar that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Applebee's (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/applebees.com
- Clean Juice (240 m): https://directindex.org/r/cleanjuice.com
- Rico's Acai (850 m): https://directindex.org/r/ricosacai.com
- Tropical Smoothie Cafe (2 km): https://directindex.org/r/tropicalsmoothiecafe.com
- Velvet Charlotte - Boba Tea and Rolled Ice-Cream (2 km): https://directindex.org/r/velvetcharlotte.com

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through resy.** (+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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: 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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 8036617741, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 9804987247. 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.
