Site: https://www.thecontinentdc.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thecontinentdc.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The Continent DC is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.thecontinentdc.com/reservations/ (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://thecontinentdc.order.online/store/the-continent-dc-washington-29736550/ (through doordash_storefront acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.thecontinentdc.com/menus/
- Phone: +1 202-978-1320

## 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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.
