# Iris: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%)

Site: https://www.iris-restaurant.ch/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/iris-restaurant.ch
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Iris is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Iris's website. What Iris offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to TheFork, a marketplace.

## What to fix first
- **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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through thefork.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Lausanne, 18% of comparable sites declare one.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **TheFork works with agents through its partners.** TheFork's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; TheFork integrated OpenAI's Operator agent for UK bookings in February 2025 and is a named Google AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://itbrief.co.uk/story/thefork-integrates-openai-s-operator-for-uk-bookings. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
