## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (challenge:checking your browser). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **3 prices on the landing page, the middle one CA$23.00.** In Toronto, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is CA$15.00.

## Already right

- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
