Site: http://yamacafe.ca/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/yamacafe.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Yama Cafe is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Yama Cafe's website. It can read what Yama Cafe offers. To book or order, it is sent to SkipTheDishes, a marketplace.

## What to fix first

- **Ordering only through skipthedishes.** (+12 points) 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/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## 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": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Yama Cafe",
  "url": "http://yamacafe.ca/",
  "telephone": "+16044286276",
  "address": "2007 E Hastings St, V5L 1T9, Vancouver",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 49.28135841,
    "longitude": -123.06339617
  }
}
</script>
```

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