# Flower & Bean: Agent-Direct Score D (44.6%)

Site: https://www.flowerandbean.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/flowerandbean.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Flower & Bean is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Flower & Bean, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://flowerandbean.square.site/ (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.flowerandbean.com/menu
- Phone: 015471512

## 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.** (+3 points) Missing: 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.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
