Site: https://www.catalinakb.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/catalinakb.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.)
Catalina Kitchen + Bar is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Catalina Kitchen + Bar, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.exploretock.com/catalinakitchenandbar (through tock acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/ditkas-charlotte-e-7th-street-n-caswell-road (through toast acting for the business)

## 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.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). 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

## 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.
- **Booking through tock on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Tock works with agents through its partners.** Tock's terms (12 February 2026) prohibit robots, scripts, scrapers and automated systems except software expressly licensed by Tock; Google names Tock as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.exploretock.com/terms. 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.
