# Hi T: Agent-Direct Score D (41.5%)

Site: https://www.hiteaottawa.ca/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/hiteaottawa.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Hi T is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Hi T, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://squareup.com/gift/MLA617DJS9HBV/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.hiteaottawa.ca/dessert-menu

## 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.** (+5 points) Missing: telephone, 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "CafeOrCoffeeShop",
  "name": "Hi T",
  "url": "https://www.hiteaottawa.ca/",
  "address": {

        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address
- **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.
