Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Watami Sushi is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Watami Sushi's website. It can read what Watami Sushi offers. It can't find a link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://www.watami-sushi.com/menu
- Address: King Street North 14 N2J 2W7
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon closed; Tue–Thu 12:00–21:30; Fri–Sat 12:00–22:00; Sun 12:00–21:00
- Its menu mentions: a lunch or set menu
- Step-free access (OpenStreetMap)

## 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website

## 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": "Restaurant",
  "name": "Watami Sushi",
  "url": "https://www.watami-sushi.com/",

## 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.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
