# The Duchy: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%) Site: https://theduchy-restaurant.com/home Report: https://directindex.org/r/theduchy-restaurant.com Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) The Duchy is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open the website of The Duchy. What The Duchy offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Menu: https://theduchy-restaurant.com/files/download/Menue/the-duchy-restaurant-raw-bar-menu-en.pdf - Phone: +49 211 16090500 ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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 - **Booking only through opentable.** (+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/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # The Duchy > restaurant (fine dining, european) in Königsallee 11, Düsseldorf.
