Site: https://karawane-essen.de/pages/contact
Report: https://directindex.org/r/karawane-essen.de
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.)
Karawane is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Karawane. What Karawane offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://karawane-essen.de/pages/contact (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0824/2344/7893/files/Kopie_von_Kopie_von_Weiss_Beige_Minimalist_Elegant_Kalligraphie_Restaurant_M_20251113_151216_0000.pdf?v=1766667075

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. 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 HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Ordering only through justeat.** (no points, still worth doing) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
