Tonchin Brooklyn is ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Tonchin Brooklyn's website. It can read what Tonchin Brooklyn offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.tonchinus.com/order-online (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.tonchinus.com/signature-menu
- Phone: +19295525396
- Address: 109 N 3rd St, 11249, New York
- Its menu mentions: vegan options

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Tonchin Brooklyn that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Salt+Charcoal (230 m): https://directindex.org/r/saltandcharcoal.com
- Ako (270 m): https://directindex.org/r/akosushi.com

## What to fix first
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **Booking only through resy.** (no points, but worth doing) 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/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows (646) 692-9912, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +19295525396. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## Fix kit: What to paste

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