# Bowie: Agent-Direct Score B (72.3%)

Site: http://www.brasseriebowie.be/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/brasseriebowie.be
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Bowie is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Bowie's website. What Bowie offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Zenchef.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bookings.zenchef.com/results?rid=366723&pid=1001 (through zenchef acting for the business)
- Menu: https://brasseriebowie.be/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/BW-Menukaart-A3-v13.pdf

## What to fix first

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Antwerp, 21% of comparable sites declare one.

- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Booking through zenchef on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Zenchef works with agents through its partners.** Zenchef's website terms (19 February 2024) forbid robots, scripts or automated systems that extract content and forbid crawling or scraping; agents book only through partner integrations a restaurant enables. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.zenchef.com/terms-conditions. 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.
