# Eastbound Bar & Grill: Agent-Direct Score D (40%)

Site: https://eastboundbarandgrill.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/eastboundbarandgrill.com
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.)
Eastbound Bar & Grill is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Eastbound Bar & Grill, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Toast works with agents through its partners.** Toast's guest terms could not be read on 2026-10-15 (bot challenge); since August 2026 Google's Ask Maps completes orders at Toast restaurants through Toast Local under the UCP for Food standard. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
