Solette is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Solette's website. It can read what Solette offers. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://dinesolette.com/menus
- Address: West Randolph Street 225
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon–Fri 11:00–20:00; Sat–Sun closed
- Its menu mentions: vegetarian dishes
- Prices: 3 prices on the site, the middle one $5.00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Solette that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Bombay Eats (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/bombayeats.com
- Pita Pita (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/pitapita.com
- Siam Rice (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/siamricethai.com
- BenjYehuda (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/benjyehuda.com

## What to fix first
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 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_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
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **3 prices on the landing page, the middle one $5.00.** 

## 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.

```

## 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
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **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.
