# Chicken Express: Agent-Direct Score F (21.5%)

Site: http://www.chickene.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/chickene.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Chicken Express is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Chicken Express, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (challenge:attention required); 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
- **Ordering only through doordash.** (+12 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. 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 menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## 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": "FastFoodRestaurant",
  "name": "Chicken Express",
  "url": "http://www.chickene.com/",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "Bexley Road 158",
    "postalCode": "SE9 2PH",
    "addressLocality": "London"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 51.4502209,
    "longitude": 0.0813483
  },
  "servesCuisine": [
    "chicken"
  ]
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** but without address, phone or hours
- **DoorDash works with agents through its partners.** DoorDash's consumer terms (13 August 2026) allow access only by means DoorDash authorizes and bar automated means without written permission; agents order only through its CLI and MCP limited betas. Read 2026-10-15: https://help.doordash.com/legal/document?type=cx-terms-and-conditions&region=US&locale=en-US. 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.
