# Java: Agent-Direct Score B (71.4%)

Site: https://www.javabistro.net/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/javabistro.net
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Java is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Java's website. What Java offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.javabistro.net/bookings (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.javabistro.net/_files/ugd/8ab678_6c596895e2ff4d7fab3e133034b52f55.pdf
- Phone: +27218876261
- Address: Church Street 8 7600
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon–Sun 09:00–22:00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Java that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- The Stellenbosch Kitchen (50 m): https://directindex.org/r/stellenboschkitchen.co.za

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2015.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site.

## 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.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
