# Gai: Agent-Direct Score F (38.5%)

Site: https://www.gaiandrice.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/gaiandrice.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.)
Gai is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Gai, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.online/business/GaiChicken-270440 (through doordash_storefront acting for the business)
- Phone: +1 415 2314700

## 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
- **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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Ordering through doordash_storefront on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (F then)
- Fixed: The site could not be read at all
- New: The site turned every visitor without a browser away; No menu or price list
