Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Culinary Dropout is ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Culinary Dropout. It can read what Culinary Dropout offers. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.culinarydropout.com/locations-menus/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.culinarydropout.com/locations-menus/
- Phone: +1 858-437-6191

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Booking only through opentable.** (no points, still worth doing) 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/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
