# Quality Branded: Agent-Direct Score F (37.8%)

Site: https://www.qualitybranded.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/qualitybranded.com
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.)
Quality Branded is largely invisible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Quality Branded's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Resy.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://widgets.resy.com/embed.js (through resy acting for the business)
- Address: 880 3rd Ave, 10022-4730, New York

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Quality Branded that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Pesce Lulu Seafood Kitchen (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/pescelulu.com
- Jumieka NYC (50 m): https://directindex.org/r/jumiekanyc.com
- Atto Sushi (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/attosushi.com
- Gu Japanese Fusion Sushi & Bar (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/gujapanese.com
- Restaurant Nippon (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/restaurantnippon.com

## 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and 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 page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.** (+3.7 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
- **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.

# Quality Branded

> local business in 880 3rd Ave, 10022-4730, New York, New York.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://widgets.resy.com/embed.js (through resy acting for the business)

## About

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

## Already right
- **Booking through resy on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Resy works with agents through its partners.** Resy's terms (9 June 2025) bar automated software that crawls, harvests or scrapes the service and require written consent for other automated use; Resy opened bookings inside ChatGPT on 10 August 2026. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://resy.com/terms. 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.
