# Chocolate Buddha: Agent-Direct Score F (37.4%) Site: http://www.chocolatebuddha.com.au Report: https://directindex.org/r/chocolatebuddha.com.au Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Chocolate Buddha is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Chocolate Buddha's website. What Chocolate Buddha offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Menu: https://chocolatebuddha.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Weekday-LUNCH-Menu-2.pdf - Phone: 9654 5688 ## What to fix first - **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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **Booking only through opentable.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (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 - **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **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 ## 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. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Chocolate Buddha > restaurant in Federation Square, Melbourne. Phone 9654 5688. ## Book or order directly - Menu: https://chocolatebuddha.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Weekday-LUNCH-Menu-2.pdf ## About - Website: http://www.chocolatebuddha.com.au - 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. - **OpenTable works with agents through its partners.** OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-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. ## Where it stands 3047 of 4078 in Melbourne.
