# Pye Boat Noodle: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%)

Site: http://www.pyeboatnoodle.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/pyeboatnoodle.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Pye Boat Noodle is hard for agents to use.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://ordering.chownow.com/order/3563/locations (through chownow acting for the business)
- Phone: +1 718-685-2329

## 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
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
