bb.q Chicken is ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.bbqchickenallston.com/order/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.bbqchickenallston.com/menu/
- Phone: +1 617 903 3359

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste

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