The Kitchen Doha is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open The Kitchen Doha's website. What The Kitchen Doha offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through TableCheck.

## Direct links

- Phone: +974 4492 4610
- Address: The Pearl
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon–Fri 07:00–23:00; Sat–Sun closed

- Pure Eats Co. (360 m): https://directindex.org/r/pureeatsco.com

## 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
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to flippingbook.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. 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.
