The Pots Hot Pot is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open The Pots Hot Pot's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to DoorDash, a marketplace.

- Address: 2652 Judah St, 94122-1432, San Francisco

- Mini Potstickers (970 m): https://directindex.org/r/kwickmenu.com

## What to fix first
- **Ordering only through doordash.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **4 prices on the landing page, the middle one $22.49.** In San Francisco, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $17.00.

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "The Pots Hot Pot",
  "url": "https://www.thepotssf.com/",
  "telephone": "+14156827889",
  "address": "2652 Judah St, 94122-1432, San Francisco",
  "geo": {

    "latitude": 37.76116643,
    "longitude": -122.4907484
  }
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **DoorDash works with agents through its partners.** DoorDash's consumer terms (13 August 2026) allow access only by means DoorDash authorizes and bar automated means without written permission; agents order only through its CLI and MCP limited betas. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://help.doordash.com/legal/document?type=cx-terms-and-conditions&region=US&locale=en-US. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
