# Café Bonjour: Agent-Direct Score D (49.2%)

Site: https://www.cafebonjourboston.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/cafebonjourboston.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.)
Café Bonjour is hard for agents to use.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://ordering.chownow.com/order/18028/locations (through chownow acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.cafebonjourboston.com/breakfast-and-lunch/
- Phone: +1-617-779-0062

## 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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) 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

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through chownow on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
