# Ron of Japan: Agent-Direct Score D (44.6%) Site: http://www.rojfordinner.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/rojfordinner.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.) Ron of Japan is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Ron of Japan's website. What Ron of Japan offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Menu: https://ron-of-japan.com/website/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ROJ-NB-takeout-menu-30922.pdf - Address: East Ontario Street 230 60611 Chicago ## Nearby, also direct Places near Ron of Japan that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Birdman Ramen (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/birdman-ramen.com - Gyu-Kaku (120 m): https://directindex.org/r/gyu-kaku.com - Niu Japanese Fusion (330 m): https://directindex.org/r/niusushi.com - Benihana (660 m): https://directindex.org/r/benihana.com - Friends Sushi Izakaya (710 m): https://directindex.org/r/friendssushiizakaya.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 - **Booking only through opentable.** (+12 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 - **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it. - **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Ron of Japan > restaurant (japanese) in East Ontario Street 230 60611 Chicago, Chicago. ## Book or order directly - Menu: https://ron-of-japan.com/website/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ROJ-NB-takeout-menu-30922.pdf ## About - Website: http://www.rojfordinner.com/ - This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models. ``` ## Already right - **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed. - **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response. - **OpenTable works with agents through its partners.** OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there.
