Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar's website. What Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through DoorDash Storefront.

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:attention required), ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required) 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **6 prices on the landing page, the middle one $7.00.** In New York, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $14.00.

## Fix kit: What to paste

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