# Szechuan Express: Agent-Direct Score D (40%)

Site: http://www.szechuanszechuan.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/szechuanszechuan.com
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.)
Szechuan Express is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Szechuan Express's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Uber Eats, a marketplace.
## 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
- **Ordering only through ubereats.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **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
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FastFoodRestaurant",
  "name": "Szechuan Express",
  "url": "http://www.szechuanszechuan.com",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 43.6554801,
    "longitude": -79.3808153
  },
  "servesCuisine": [
    "chinese"
  ]
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Uber Eats works with agents 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. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.uber.com/legal/en/document/?name=general-terms-of-use&country=united-states&lang=en. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
