Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Sushi shin is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Sushi shin's website. What Sushi shin offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through GloriaFood.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.foodbooking.com/api/fb/ar_qd8 (through gloriafood acting for the business)
- Menu: https://sushishin.ca/menu.pdf
- Phone: (514) 620-7888

## 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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.** (+3.7 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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.
