# Cafe Salsera: Agent-Direct Score D (52.3%)

Site: https://www.cafesalsera.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/cafesalsera.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.)
Cafe Salsera is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Cafe Salsera, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.cafesalsera.com/reservations (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.cafesalsera.com/menus
- Phone: 4695181500

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+23 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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (no points, still worth doing) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript

## 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.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
