# Chai House: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%)

Site: https://www.chaihousecafe.com.au/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/chaihousecafe.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Chai House is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open the website of Chai House. It can read what Chai House offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through chaihouse.v2u.app.

## Direct links
- Menu: http://www.chaihousecafe.com.au/menu

## What to fix first
- Prices: 7 prices on the site, the middle one A$4.50

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **7 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$4.50.** In Brisbane, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$20.25.

- **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 through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it.
- **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": "Chai House",
  "url": "https://www.chaihousecafe.com.au/",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -27.6207074,
    "longitude": 152.7807933
  },
  "hasMenu": "http://www.chaihousecafe.com.au/menu"
}
