The website's grade

Some AI assistants are turned away by Basalt's website. What Basalt offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

After the top fixes

Findings

What to fix first

  1. Booking only through opentable +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. How to fix it About this vendor

  2. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

    Requests as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

  3. Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points

    Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
  • Structured data found (FoodEstablishment) address, phone, opening hours
  • OpenTable works with agents through its partners OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
