The Gu Teppanyaki & Hotpot is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open The Gu Teppanyaki & Hotpot's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through TableCheck.

- 5 Senses (460 m): https://directindex.org/r/5senses.asia

## 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
- **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

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
