# la Betty: Agent-Direct Score C (55.8%)

Site: http://la-betty.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/la-betty.com
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
la Betty is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by la Betty's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Toast.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.toasttab.com/online/la-betty-420-k-street-northwest (through toast acting for the business)

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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
- **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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "la Betty",
  "url": "http://la-betty.com/",
  "address": "420 K St NW, 20001, Washington",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 38.90230119876173,
    "longitude": -77.01667070388795
  },
  "potentialAction": [
    {
      "@type": "OrderAction",
      "target": {
        "@type": "EntryPoint",
        "urlTemplate": "https://order.toasttab.com/online/la-betty-420-k-street-northwest",
        "actionPlatform": [

          "http://schema.org/MobileWebPlatform"
        ]

> organization in 420 K St NW, 20001, Washington, Washington, DC cafes and bars.

## Book or order directly

- Order: https://order.toasttab.com/online/la-betty-420-k-street-northwest (through toast acting for the business)

## About

- Website: http://la-betty.com/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Toast works with agents through its partners.** Toast's guest terms could not be read on 2026-10-15 (bot challenge); since August 2026 Google's Ask Maps completes orders at Toast restaurants through Toast Local under the UCP for Food standard. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. 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.
