Site: https://www.cafephinhouston.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/cafephinhouston.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Ca Phe Phin is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Ca Phe Phin, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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 doordash.** (+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

## 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.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **DoorDash works with agents through its partners.** DoorDash's consumer terms (13 August 2026) allow access only by means DoorDash authorizes and bar automated means without written permission; agents order only through its CLI and MCP limited betas. Read 2026-10-15: https://help.doordash.com/legal/document?type=cx-terms-and-conditions&region=US&locale=en-US. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
