Site: https://torishinny.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/torishinny.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Yakitori Torishin is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Yakitori Torishin. It can read what Yakitori Torishin offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.torishinny.com/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.torishinny.com/
- Phone: +1 212-757-0108

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Live fetches as ClaudeBot (cloudflare_challenge), PerplexityBot (cloudflare_challenge) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through ubereats.** (no points, still worth doing) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **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.
