# The Senator Restaurant: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%) Site: https://www.thesenator.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/thesenator.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.) The Senator Restaurant is hard for agents to use. ## Direct links - Menu: https://www.thesenator.com/s/Brunch-Menu-July-5-2026.pdf - Phone: +1-416-364-7517 ## 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). 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 through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. 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.
