Cocotte Bistro is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Cocotte Bistro's website. It can read what Cocotte Bistro offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through OpenTable.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.opentable.ca/widget/reservation/loader?rid=1256926&domain=ca&type=standard&theme=standard&lang=en_US&overlay=false&iframe=false (through opentable acting for the business)
- Menu: https://cocottebistro.com/#menus
- Phone: +16132162912

## What to fix first
- Languages: English, French

- **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
- **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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://www.opentable.ca/widget/reservation/loader?rid=1256926&domain=ca&type=standard&theme=standard&lang=en_US&overlay=false&iframe=false (through opentable acting for the business)
- Menu: https://cocottebistro.com/#menus

## About

- Website: http://cocottebistro.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.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking through opentable on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **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.
