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.)
Presto Pasta is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Presto Pasta's website. What Presto Pasta offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Toast.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/catering/locations/db39e136-e41f-4a19-94cb-13d6d958b763 (through toast acting for the business)

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Presto Pasta that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Pi On Sunset (180 m): https://directindex.org/r/thepionsunset.com
- Joe's Cafe (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/joescafegh.com
- Belgium Waffle Haus (280 m): https://directindex.org/r/belgiumwafflehaus.com
- Ali Baba Persian Restaurant (770 m): https://directindex.org/r/alibabapersianrestaurant.com

## What to fix first
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User.** (+10 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to toast.site, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **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">

    }
  ]
}

```

robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers.

# Presto Pasta

> restaurant (italian, pasta) in Los Angeles.

## Book or order directly

- Order: https://www.toasttab.com/catering/locations/db39e136-e41f-4a19-94cb-13d6d958b763 (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://prestopasta.toast.site/order?showAllLocations=true

## About

- Website: http://prestopasta.com
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **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.
