Report: https://directindex.org/r/charmrestaurant.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Charm by Zab Bite is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants can't open Charm by Zab Bite's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (challenge:checking your browser). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+5 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking through tock on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer 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. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.exploretock.com/terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
