# Babe's Tea Room: Agent-Direct Score D (46.2%)

Site: https://babestearoom.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/babestearoom.com
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.)
Babe's Tea Room is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Babe's Tea Room, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://babestearoom.com/m/orders (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +1 303-455-4832

## What to fix first

- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout); 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 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 opentable.** (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/book-direct-on-your-own-website

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.
