things to fix

Action test, 2026-11-13: completed, an agent can get as far as the step before confirming. A OpenTable booking or ordering page renders and can be used without a login.

Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.

After the top fixes

With the two fixes above (No structured data for the business; The server turns AI crawlers away at the door), the score would be about 90%. That would be 8th of 292 in Baltimore cafes and bars, up from 96th.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. No structured data for the business +14 points

    Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

  2. 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. How to fix it

  3. 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. How to fix it

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
  • 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.
