# The Little Grand: Agent-Direct Score B (81.5%)

Site: https://littlegranddc.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/littlegranddc.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.)
The Little Grand is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of The Little Grand. What The Little Grand offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Tock.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.exploretock.com/thelittlegrand/ (through tock acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/the-little-grand/v3 (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://littlegranddc.com/s/TLG-Web-Menu-260330.pdf
- Phone: +1-202-758-0783

## What to fix first
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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 (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Booking through tock on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Tock works with agents through its partners.** Tock's terms (12 February 2026) prohibit robots, scripts, scrapers and automated systems except software expressly licensed by Tock; Google names Tock as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.exploretock.com/terms. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
