# Sequoia Cafe: Agent-Direct Score B (81.5%) Site: http://sequoiacafenyc.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/sequoiacafenyc.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.) Sequoia Cafe is mostly ready for agents. An AI assistant can open Sequoia Cafe'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 on the site. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://www.sequoiacafenyc.com/order (on the business's own site) - Phone: +19293082863 - Address: 1203 Bay St, 10305, Staten Island ## Nearby, also direct Places near Sequoia Cafe that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Americano Cafe (1.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/americanocafesi.com - Bar Chuzo (2.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/barchuzo.com - Delia's Lounge (2.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/deliaslounge.com ## What to fix first - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead.

Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add.
