# Palm Restaurant: Agent-Direct Score B (75.4%)

Site: https://www.thepalm.com/location/the-palm-washington-dc/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thepalm.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.)
Palm Restaurant is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://getbento.com/?utm_source=header&utm_campaign=thepalm.com (through bentobox acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-202-293-9091

## What to fix first
- **Menu or price list lives on another site.** (+5 points) The link points to alohaorderonline.com, so the credit and the traffic go there. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. 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.
