Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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. How to fix it

  2. Ordering only through doordash +12 points

    Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. How to fix it About this vendor

  3. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.3 points

    Requests as ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required) 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. How to fix it

  4. Almost no text without JavaScript +2 points

    Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. How to fix it

  5. 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. How to fix it

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • DoorDash works with agents through its partners DoorDash's consumer terms (13 August 2026) allow access only by means DoorDash authorizes and bar automated means without written permission; agents order only through its CLI and MCP limited betas. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://help.doordash.com/legal/document?type=cx-terms-and-conditions&region=US&locale=en-US. 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.
