## What to fix first
- **Ordering only through ubereats.** (+12 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: address, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as PerplexityBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Restaurant",
  "name": "Sofra Istanbul",
  "url": "https://sofraistanbul.com",
  "telephone": "+1-905-532-0054",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 43.7739837,
    "longitude": -79.5313369
  },
  "servesCuisine": [
    "mediterranean"
  ],
  "hasMenu": "https://sofraistanbul.com/menu"
}
</script>
```

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.

```

## Book or order directly

## About

- Website: https://sofraistanbul.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.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Uber Eats lets agents act only through its partners.** Uber's US terms of use (12 October 2026) bar scripts that burden the services and any use to build software or train AI; its Claude and ChatGPT integrations only browse menus, with checkout in the Uber Eats app. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.uber.com/legal/en/document/?name=general-terms-of-use&country=united-states&lang=en. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
