# 300 East: Agent-Direct Score F (16.9%) Site: https://300east.net Report: https://directindex.org/r/300east.net Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) 300 East is largely invisible to agents. AI assistants cannot open the website of 300 East, so they rely on what other sites say about it. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://order.toasttab.com/online/300-east-300-east-blvd (through toast acting for the business) - Phone: +1-704-332-6507 ## What to fix first - **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Booking only through resy.** (+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 ## 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. ```html ``` ## Already right - **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents. - **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours. - **Toast works with agents through its partners.** Toast's guest terms could not be read on 2026-10-15 (bot challenge); since August 2026 Google's Ask Maps completes orders at Toast restaurants through Toast Local under the UCP for Food standard.

An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them. ## Where it stands 295 of 336 in Charlotte.
