# Chez Gala: Agent-Direct Score D (45.7%)

Site: https://chezgala.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/chezgala.com
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Chez Gala is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Chez Gala's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Zenchef.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bookings.zenchef.com/results?rid=358369&pid=1001 (through zenchef acting for the business)
- Phone: +33617935238
- Address: 6 Rue Arsène Houssaye, 75008, Paris

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Paris, 32% of comparable sites declare one.

## 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.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://bookings.zenchef.com/results?rid=358369&pid=1001 (through zenchef acting for the business)

## About

- Website: https://chezgala.com/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Booking through zenchef on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Zenchef works with agents through its partners.** Zenchef's website terms (19 February 2024) forbid robots, scripts or automated systems that extract content and forbid crawling or scraping; agents book only through partner integrations a restaurant enables. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.zenchef.com/terms-conditions. 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.
