# Ariake Express: Agent-Direct Score D (46.2%) Site: http://www.sanjoseariake.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/sanjoseariake.com Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Ariake Express is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Ariake Express's website. It can read what Ariake Express offers. To book or order, it is sent to Grubhub, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Menu: http://www.sanjoseariake.com/to-go-menu.html - Phone: (408) 249-8383 - Address: 5190 Stevens Creek Blvd, 95129, San Jose ## Nearby, also direct Places near Ariake Express that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Egglicious India (390 m): https://directindex.org/r/eggliciousindia.com - Sumiya Japanese Yakitori Restaurant (1.5 km): https://directindex.org/r/sumiyakitori.com - Gaku Yakitori (1.6 km): https://directindex.org/r/gakurestaurant.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 - **Ordering only through grubhub.** (+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/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps - **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it. - **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 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2014.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In San Jose, 78% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. ## 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. ``` # Ariake Express > local business (sushi) in 5190 Stevens Creek Blvd, 95129, San Jose, San Jose.

Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.grubhub.com/legal/terms-of-use. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there.
