Cook in Rio is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Cook in Rio's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to GetYourGuide, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Phone: +55 21 98894 9857

## What to fix first
- WhatsApp: a link on the site

- **Booking only through getyourguide.** (+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
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403) 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
- **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",
  "@type": "Restaurant",
  "name": "Cook in Rio",
  "url": "https://www.cookinrio.com",
  "telephone": "+55 21 98894 9857",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "Rua Acre 49",
    "postalCode": "20081-010",
    "addressLocality": "Rio de Janeiro"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -22.8994137,
    "longitude": -43.1813499
  }
}

# Cook in Rio

> restaurant in Rua Acre 49 20081-010 Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro. Phone +55 21 98894 9857.

## About

- Website: https://www.cookinrio.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.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **GetYourGuide works with agents through its partners.** GetYourGuide's consumer terms page answered 403 on 2026-10-15; its Partner API wiki says to request an API key from a partner manager, with booking only at the booking tier, and a ChatGPT app is listed. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://github.com/getyourguide/partner-api-spec/wiki. 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.
