Kai Sushi is partly visible to agents.

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** Live fetches as ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required) 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **No structured data for the business.** Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type) with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations for a restaurant. It is the one block every assistant reads first. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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 chownow on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
