# Épicerie: Agent-Direct Score B (72.3%)

Site: http://epicerieaustin.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/epicerieaustin.com
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Épicerie is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Épicerie's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/epicerie/v3 (through toast acting for the business)
- Phone: +15123716840
- Address: Hancock Drive 2307
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon–Thu 08:00–21:30; Fri–Sat 08:00–22:30; Sun 10:30–15:00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Épicerie that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Neighbor Coffee and Friends (530 m): https://directindex.org/r/neighborcoffee.co
- Monkey Nest (540 m): https://directindex.org/r/monkeynestcoffee.com
- Citizen All Day - Restaurant, Cafe & Deli (680 m): https://directindex.org/r/citizenallday.com
- Picnik (770 m): https://directindex.org/r/picnikaustin.com
- Pinthouse Pizza (780 m): https://directindex.org/r/pinthouse.com

## What to fix first
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Booking only through opentable.** (+5 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.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer 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. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. 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.
