Kirkstall Brewery Taproom & Kitchen is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Kirkstall Brewery Taproom & Kitchen's website. What Kirkstall Brewery Taproom & Kitchen offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through DesignMyNight.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.** (+3.7 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **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

## 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.
