## Nearby, also direct
Places near Sumiya Japanese Yakitori Restaurant that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Gaku Yakitori (50 m): https://directindex.org/r/gakurestaurant.com
- Shabuway San Jose (1.6 km): https://directindex.org/r/shabuway.com
- Teriyaki Madness (1.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/teriyakimadness.com

## What to fix first
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** (+5 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
