The Barn Hockey Bar is ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.exploretock.com/thebarnhockeybar?source=pop_up&spot_id=339669&destination=reservations&promotion=reservations (through tock acting for the business)

- Phone: 3126248609

## What to fix first
- **Ordering only through doordash.** (+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/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking through tock on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Tock lets agents act only through its partners.** Tock's terms (12 February 2026) prohibit robots, scripts, scrapers and automated systems except software expressly licensed by Tock; Google names Tock as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.exploretock.com/terms. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
