# Eaves: Agent-Direct Score C (61.1%)

Site: https://eaveschicago.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/eaveschicago.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Eaves is partly visible to agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.exploretock.com/eaves/ (through tock acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://order.toasttab.com/online/eaves (through toast acting for the business)

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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
- **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

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

> restaurant (european) in North Wacker Drive 20, Chicago.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://www.exploretock.com/eaves/ (through tock acting for the business)
- Order: https://order.toasttab.com/online/eaves (through toast acting for the business)

## Opening hours

Mo-Fr 11:00-21:00; Sa-Su off

## About

- Website: https://eaveschicago.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 key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Booking through tock on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Tock lets agents act only through its partners.** Tock's terms (12 February 2026) prohibit robots, scripts, scrapers and automated systems except software expressly licensed by Tock; Google names Tock as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.exploretock.com/terms. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
