Report: https://directindex.org/r/seoulsoul.ca
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.)
Seoul Soul is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Seoul Soul's website. It can read what Seoul Soul offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through GloriaFood.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.foodbooking.com/ordering/restaurant/menu?restaurant_uid=332bb52e-75d9-4cda-81eb-1ef092cbb793 (through gloriafood acting for the business)
- Menu: https://seoulsoul.ca/menu
- Address: University Avenue West 170
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon 11:30–22:30; Tue closed; Wed–Sun 11:30–22:30

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Seoul Soul that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Lazeez Shawarma (20 m): https://directindex.org/r/lazeezshawarma.com
- d spot dessert cafe (120 m): https://directindex.org/r/dspotdessert.com
- Cluck Clucks (130 m): https://directindex.org/r/cluckclucks.com
- Aunty's Kitchen (130 m): https://directindex.org/r/auntyskitchen.ca

## 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
- **GloriaFood's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit.** (+5 points) GloriaFood's terms of use (6 February 2024, Oracle) say you agree not to use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means without written permission; GloriaFood reaches end of life on 30 April 2027. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.gloriafood.com/terms-of-use. An agent that books or orders there goes against the vendor's terms unless the vendor allows it. 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, 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.
