Site: https://uni-boston.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/uni-boston.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.)
UNI is ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.online/business/uni-54577 (through doordash_storefront acting for the business)
- Menu: https://uni-boston.com/menu/Room%20Service/download
- Phone: +1-617-536-7200

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through opentable.** (+5 points) 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/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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

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

- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through doordash_storefront on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
