Report: https://directindex.org/r/brunchbroadway.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Brunch is hard for agents to use.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://brunchbroadway.com/menu

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through grubhub.** (+12 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
- **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

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "CafeOrCoffeeShop",
  "name": "Brunch",
  "url": "https://brunchbroadway.com",
  "email": "customerservice@brunchbroadway.com",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "Broadway 2210",
    "postalCode": "10024",
    "addressLocality": "New York"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 40.783395,
    "longitude": -73.9799783
  },
  "openingHours": "Mo-Su 09:00-15:30",
  "openingHoursSpecification": [
    {
      "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification",
      "dayOfWeek": [],
      "opens": "09:00",
      "closes": "15:30"
    }
  ],

}

## 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.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Grubhub lets agents act only through its partners.** Grubhub's terms of use (17 December 2024) bar access with any robot, spider, crawler or automated process; since June 2026 Alexa+ users can browse, build an order and check out through Grubhub by voice. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.grubhub.com/legal/terms-of-use. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
