Site: https://www.lekitchenlyon.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/lekitchenlyon.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Le Kitchen is largely invisible to agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bookings.zenchef.com/results?sdk=1&withCloseButton=1&rid=362226&showCollapsed=1 (through zenchef acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://www.lekitchenlyon.com/emporter (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.lekitchenlyon.com/menu
- Phone: +33 6 03 36 42 75

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking through zenchef on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (F then)
- Fixed: The server turned AI crawlers away at the door; No booking or ordering path at all; No llms.txt
- New: The site turned every visitor without a browser away
