Gurkha Cafe

What to fix first

1. No structured data for the business +14 points

   Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

2. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.3 points

   Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) 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. How to fix it

3. No llms.txt no points, still worth doing

   Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it

Already right

• robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
• 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.
